Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1.5 cups Sliced carrots
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 3 cups Unsalted vegetable broth
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Break the fettuccine in half and place it in the slow cooker.
Step 2
Layer the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and red bell pepper on top of the pasta.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic, vegetable broth, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the pasta is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 2.5 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent the pasta from clumping together.
Step 6
After 2 to 2.5 hours, when the pasta is tender, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and baby spinach. Let the spinach wilt for about 10-15 minutes with the lid on.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Step 8
Serve hot with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
