Notes
Cooking Time: Slow cookers can vary; check the chicken for doneness at the 3-hour mark to prevent overcooking.
Pasta Texture: For firmer pasta, cook it separately and stir it into the sauce just before serving.
Serving Suggestions: Garnish with fresh parsley or additional Parmesan cheese. Serve alongside a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the sauce and chicken ahead of time, then reheat and add freshly cooked pasta when ready to serve.
