Flavor was good, my pasta turned to Moosh. So the noodles totally lossy their shape 🥺

Just make noodles like normal, make sauce in a pot and add noodles. I wish I’d read these reviews before ruining my noodles.

I don't think this recipe is done any favors by being in the Crock-Pot. The flavor balance is good, but I think the sauce would turn out better just cooked in a dutch oven. Other reviews stated to much sauce and not enough pasta, so I increased the amount of pasta but to much I think. I will make it again, but on the stovetop next time so i have more control over the results.

turned out terrible, would not make this again. Way too much cheese to pasta ratio. I added pasta and it was still to cheesy and I do enjoy cheese but this was over kill
