FETTUCCINI ALFREDO--CROCK-POT STYLE!
You NEED a 3QT or 5QT Crock-Pot to pull this one off. I omitted as much fat as I could and also salt, since the condensed soup has enough. Next time, Im going to omit spinich and add frozen broccoli and cauliflower as a time saver.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the Alfredo sauce will be. Use fresh Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and butter. You can also add freshly chopped parsley or chives for a pop of flavor.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Fettuccine noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and won't hold the sauce well.
- Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy. If the sauce is too thin, it won't coat the pasta properly. Add more Parmesan cheese or butter until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
- Serve the Alfredo immediately. Alfredo sauce is best when served hot and fresh. It can be reheated, but it may not be as creamy or flavorful.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This crock-pot version is a great way to make Alfredo sauce without having to stand over the stove.
