Personal Notes:
Cook Pasta – Before stuffing the shells, then need to be cooked to al dente or according to package directions.
Prepare Slow Cooker – The slow cooker needs to be sprayed with cooking spray including the bottom of the crock pot. This will prevent the pasta from sticking.
Cooking Time – Cooking time will vary depending on your crock pot. You will cook the stuffed pasta until cheese is melted and heated through.
