Tips for the Best Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Pasta

To ensure your Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Pasta turns out perfectly every time, here are a few tips:

  • Chicken Selection: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best as they cook quickly and evenly in the slow cooker.
  • Sauce Consistency: For a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will melt better and provide a richer flavor compared to pre-shredded options.
  • Pasta Timing: Always cook the pasta separately and add it to the slow cooker at the end to prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Spice It Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat to balance the creamy, garlicky flavors.
