Notes

  • After adding the pasta, you may wish to add a bit of water to make a saucier sauce (don't add too much at once)
  • You can use any pasta you wish with this recipe
  • If you do not want to half cook the pasta, just put it on raw and cook for at least 1 hour (I recommend half cooking first though)
  • I made this in my 5L slow cooker.
