Slow Cooker Spinach Alfredo Pasta (4 Ingredients!) 🍝🧀

Creamy, dreamy, and ridiculously easy—this dump-and-go slow cooker pasta requires just 4 ingredients and minimal effort for a comforting, cheesy meal.

📝 Ingredients

1 lb pasta (penne, fettuccine, or rotini)

2 cups jarred Alfredo sauce (or homemade if preferred)
2 cups fresh spinach leaves (or frozen, thawed & drained)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (+ extra for serving)

(Optional upgrades: garlic powder, red pepper flakes, grilled chicken)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Add to Slow Cooker

Place uncooked pasta in the slow cooker.
Pour Alfredo sauce over pasta, then add 2 cups water (or broth for extra flavor). Stir gently.

2. Cook

Cover and cook on HIGH for 1.5–2 hours (or LOW for 3–4 hours), stirring once halfway.

3. Finish & Serve

When pasta is al dente, stir in spinach and Parmesan until wilted and creamy.
Let sit 5 mins (sauce will thicken). Garnish with extra cheese and black pepper.

💡 Pro Tips

✅ No mushy pasta: Check at 1.5 hours—slow cookers vary!

🌟 Why This Works

✔️ 4 ingredients + 5 mins prep = easiest dinner ever.
✔️ Spinach adds nutrients without changing the creamy vibe.
✔️ Kid-friendly—picky eaters won’t suspect the greens!

Pair with: Garlic bread and a simple salad.
