Crock-Pot Spaghetti

Spaghetti and meatballs is the ultimate comfort food. It's already relatively no-fuss as far as recipes go, but throwing everything into a slow-cooker makes it even better and easier!

If you don't want to cook the spaghetti in the crock-pot, the sauce and meatballs can still be made in the slow cooker. Letting the sauce cook slowly all day is a great way to get a flavorful sauce and tender meatballs without worrying about simmering and constant stirring on the stove.

If you plan to make the spaghetti separately on the stove, just skip adding the broth and noodles to the crock-pot and follow the recipe to cook until the meatballs are cooked through, about 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low. We use chicken broth to cook the pasta to add another layer of umami, but you can just as easily use water! Don't forget to salt your water!
