Pasta & crocks

[rosie]

I'm wondering if anyone has made a recipe with pasta in the crockpot. I've read zillions of recipes doing that but I'm fearful it will be mushy. I do not like mushy pasta.
TIA

I have and if it is a meal that cooks for a long time I just precook the pasta and add it in at the end. I just usually just precook, not all the way done, and add in the last 15-20 minutes. Like you I hate mushy pasta. Ick!!!!!

Sounds like a good idea to try. I just usually combine cooked pasta at the end, except when I make old fashioned Macaroni and tomatoes.

I’ve made it in the rice cooker and it’s really good.

You are not a ditz, you are a good cook with a mind like most, just need a nudge once in a while. You are very welcome.
