Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Break the fettuccine in half and place it in the slow cooker.
Layer the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and red bell pepper on top of the pasta.
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.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top to prevent sticking.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 2.5 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent the pasta from clumping together.
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.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Serve hot with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
