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.
