⭐ Ingredients (Only 5!)
- 2 cups farfalle pasta (uncooked)
- 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or a lighter cream alternative)
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (or a mix of Italian cheeses)
- 1–2 cups cooked chicken, diced (optional but counts as one ingredient if used; you may replace it with mushrooms for a vegetarian version)
Optional but recommended: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil, or parsley (these don’t count toward the five ingredients).
🍲 Step-by-Step Cooking Method
Step 1: Prepare Your Slow Cooker
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with a tiny bit of oil or non-stick spray.
This prevents pasta from sticking later and makes cleanup easier.
Step 2: Add the Broth
Pour 3 cups of broth into the slow cooker.
This liquid will:
- Cook the farfalle gently
- Infuse flavor
- Prevent dryness
Make sure the broth fully covers the bottom of the cooker.
