This spring-friendly slow cooker ditali pasta is all about simplicity: just four basic ingredients, zero effort, and a creamy, comforting dinner waiting for you at the end of the day. You can prep it in the morning, walk away, and return to a rich, velvety pasta that feels like it simmered with care all afternoon—without you lifting a finger.
Servings
4 servings
Ingredients
2 cups ditali pasta (uncooked)
2 cups marinara or tomato sauce
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream (or cooking cream)
Instructions
Add everything to the slow cooker
Place the uncooked ditali pasta, tomato sauce, broth, and cream directly into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
Slow cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 2.5–3.5 hours, stirring once halfway through if possible. The pasta will absorb the liquid and turn tender and creamy.
Check texture
When the pasta is soft and the sauce is thick and glossy, it’s ready. If it looks too thick, add a splash of broth or cream.
Serve warm
Spoon into bowls and enjoy immediately while creamy and hot.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
Serve this cozy pasta with a crisp green salad and warm crusty bread to soak up every bit of the sauce. For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of black pepper, chili flakes, or grated Parmesan right before serving. Roasted vegetables like broccoli or green beans also pair beautifully with its creamy richness.
Result
A fuss-free, creamy pasta dinner that tastes like it took hours of attention—but really just took a few minutes of morning prep.
