Can you Cook Pasta in the Slow Cooker?

Yes, you can cook pasta in the slow cooker. But in this slow cooker recipe, I cooked the pasta in a separate pot. I usually cook my noodles in a broth based recipe. They seem to cook better and thoroughly.

Since Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti has a creamier base, I cooked the pasta in a separate pot. This ensure that the pasta is cooked according to the package or al dente.

Once the pasta is cooked, then I stir into the slow cooker with the other ingredients. This results in a delicious chicken spaghetti meal. This is the best comfort food.

You can also use the instant pot if you prefer.
