But somewhere between working, folding laundry, and wondering why there’s glitter on the dog, I realized something — if the food’s good and dinner is ready without me hovering over the stove for 45 minutes? Count. Me. In. This Slow Cooker Spinach and Mushroom Pasta Alfredo is everything I love in a dinner.
