Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fettuccine pasta break in half
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese fresh if possible
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup cooked chicken diced, optional
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to your slow cooker. Stir well, scraping the sides to mix in any cheese.
  • Add the butter and cooked chicken (if using). Stir gently to combine.
  • Break the fettuccine in half and place it in the slow cooker. Press the pasta down into the sauce, moving it around so it’s mostly covered.
  • Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • When the pasta is tender and the sauce is thick and creamy, stir well to coat the noodles completely.
  • Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, stir in a handful of baby spinach or peas during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
