Has one done any pasta recipes in the crock pot that does not call for cooking something first? I have been trying to convert some of my " regular" recipes to use in a crock pot and I am not having much luck. Most of what I have found on line you have to cook the meat first in a skillet or cook the pasta first. Thanks
I have done pasta "casserole" in the crockpot...it turned out ok...but I can't remember which book I got the recipe out of .
Try here though... http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ she has an amazing amount of tested recipes and there's probably a reliable one there
I'm the lady you're stuck behind in the grocery store with the over loaded cart filled with cases of tuna, peanut butter, huge bags of rice and the weary looking husband

This may have been the one I used...you just rinse your dry pasta first... http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/03/crockpot-baked-ziti-recipe.html

Thank you very much. The last link is basically a match to what I wanted to make. I am hoping to put together a few one pot recipes. I have several slow cooker recipe book but all the recipes call for cooking the pasta first.
--I wonder if soaking the pasta first (rehydrating a bit) would help. You will need extra water in the recipe, so the pasta would completely cook though.
--We make lazy cabbage rolls in the s.c. and don't pre cook the meat.
