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.

Shredding Chicken – When the chicken is done cooking, remove the chicken and shred with a hand mixer or a stand mixer. This is so quick and easy and the only way I shred chicken now.
Noodles – Cook noodles in a separate pot and then add to the chicken spaghetti ingredients. To save time on cooking day, make your spaghetti noodles the night before. Then all you have to do is add to your cooked ingredients.
