Step 1: Combine Sauce Ingredients: <\/strong>In your slow cooker, combine the 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, 1\/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1\/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Stir until well mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Add Butter and Meat: <\/strong>Add the 2 tablespoons butter and 1 cup diced cooked chicken (if using) to the mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Add Pasta: <\/strong>Break the 1 pound fettuccine in half and add it to the slow cooker, making sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Cook: <\/strong>Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally (about every 30-45 minutes), until the pasta is tender and the sauce is creamy and thickened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Finish and Serve: <\/strong>Once cooked, give it a good final stir to ensure the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
