MORE Crockpot Ideas for Summer 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6avjrfLCDk Here's how I made this pasta in the slow cooker: 1pkg fully-cooked smoked sausage, sliced 1/4 onion, chopped 1 can fire roasted tomatoes 1tsp garlic powder salt & pepper to taste 3 1/2 cups broth Cook on high for 3-4 hours then stir in: 1lb short cut pasta (like rotini or penne) Cook on high for 20-30 minutes, or until pasta is cooked to al dente. Stir in 1/4-1/2C cream (optional) and 1-2C shredded cheese, depending on cheesy you like your pasta. It's ready to serve, but I usually pop the lid on and let it heat together for about 5 minutes.
