Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fettuccine or penne
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 2 cups freshly grated Parmesan
  • 4 garlic cloves minced

Method
 

  1. Before You Begin
  2. Preheat and prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients.
  3. Lightly coat the slow cooker insert with non-stick spray.
  4. Add uncooked pasta, cream, broth, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 1.5–2.5 hours, checking pasta at 90 minutes.
  6. Add Parmesan and stir until smooth. Add broth if sauce thickens too much.
  7. Let rest 5–10 minutes so the sauce thickens naturally.
  8. Serve warm with optional toppings.
  9. COOK NOTES
  10. Timing Notes:
  11. Total cook time ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on pasta shape and slow cooker heat. Begin checking the pasta at 1.5 hours to prevent overcooking. Allow the pasta to rest for 5–10 minutes after cooking so the sauce thickens naturally before serving.
