How to Make Spaghetti in a Slow Cooker

Cris here.

We recently shared our Electric Pressure Cooker Spaghetti with Homemade Meatballs in our weekly meal plan and weekly chat. However, we have promised to share a crock pot version of every electric pressure cooker recipe so that our readers will have a recipe for whichever device they want to use. SO, here is the crock pot version of that yummy recipe.

Crock Pot Spaghetti with Homemade Meatballs Notes:

We used our 6 quart slow cooker to make this recipe. I highly recommend using a 6 quart slow cooker so that your meatballs can lay in a single layer.
I have made this dish using both Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses and I like them both.
I have tried cooking this with the pasta in the dish for the entire length of cooking and the spaghetti turns to mush, so I highly recommend just adding it at the end like noted in the recipe.
I like to break the pasta up into three sections so it tends to stick to itself less in cooking

As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
