Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce Base
In the slow cooker, combine heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Whisk until thoroughly mixed, creating the foundation of your rich, cheesy Alfredo sauce.
Add Butter and Optional Chicken
Add butter, allowing it to melt slowly as the dish cooks.
If desired, stir in cooked chicken for a heartier, protein-packed version.
Incorporate the Pasta
Break the fettuccine in half for easier handling and add it to the slow cooker.
Submerge the pasta completely in the sauce to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.
Cook Low and Slow
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat.
Cook for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from clumping.
Finish and Garnish
Once the pasta is tender and the sauce is creamy, give it a final stir to evenly distribute the sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and a hint of herbaceous freshness.
Serve and Enjoy
Plate the creamy Alfredo pasta immediately.
Pair it with crusty bread or a crisp green salad for a balanced and satisfying meal.
Pro Tips
