There’s just a little pre-cooking. The meat has to be browned first and then all the sauce ingredients are added to the pan. You’ll put half the sauce in the bottom of a 6-quart crock pot, top with the uncooked spaghetti, and then cover the spaghetti with the rest of the sauce. Sprinkle the cheese mixture on top and cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours.

A NOTE ABOUT PASTA COOKED IN THE SLOW COOKER.

Pasta cooked in a slow cooker is softer than pasta boiled in water on the stovetop. I don’t find it to be at all mushy, but some people may not be a fan of the texture. Most people seem to love it, but there are a few naysayers.

One advantage of cooking the pasta in the slow cooker is it soaks up lots of meaty flavor and the casserole has more of a cohesive flavor.

Recipe Suggestions

I like to use a combination of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and cheddar cheese, but you can play around with the cheese. Use just mozzarella and Parmesan if you wish. I just think the cheddar cheese adds another flavor dimension.

Storage

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days and can be reheated in a microwave.
