Love this!! Thank you for sharing a quick and easy recipe that was also super helpful and informative:) gonna try this recipe this week! 😋
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind comment! Can't wait for you to try it...so easy and delicious!
Thanks... needed this quick ..😊😊
Hi there, I put a mixture of meatballs and ground mince in mine, sautéed the beef first though, trying to please everyone. It’s a keeper, so quick and easy.❤️
Barbara Lent this is such a great idea to do both! Thanks for sharing! Glad it was a hit!!!
Thanks for sharing. I’ll have to make that one next. I’ve made the cheesy chicken and rice a few times. Been wanting to make the chili. Just haven’t gotten around to making that yet.
Dave R YAY!!! I love that you like the cheesy chicken and rice, as it was a total creation that happened unexpectedly! Definitely try the chili and let me know what you think! My dad has worked hard to perfect it!
Made this last night. Amazing. Cooked perfectly. I set a first timer for 25 minutes. When the timer was finished I went back and checked the time on the multi-cooker then I set a timer for the remaining time on the multi-cooker. I found the key is to let the steam pressure out as soon as the cooker beeps, then open cooker and let set about 10 to 15 minutes with the lid half off. Thanks for the fabulous recipe! Looking forward to more dishes from my Crock-Pot Multi-cooker!
Hi Jami! So glad you liked it! The spaghetti wasn't burnt after cooking it for 25 minutes? Or do you mean you let it sit to thicken up that long? Would love to know! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
@@crockpotempire the cooker heating up time was 25 minutes. I set the first timer so I could check the cooker to see if the steaming time had started. I steamed it for the 8 minutes suggested, might do it 7 minutes next time because I think the carry over cooking that occurs as it sits will make it more al dente. I let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
I made sure that I released all of the steam pressure as soon as the 8 minutes was finished.
@@jamibishop7208 Just wanted to clarify! I was worried I missed something!!! LOL Thank you so much for sharing the exact amount of time for it to thicken up...very helpful!
Looks super good. But instead of putting 1 sauce and 2 of water can i put 2 of sauce and mabey half of water?
Great recipe thank you will definitely try this but with ground beef. Kiddies do not like meatballs
Barbara Lent I went back and forth on which to do first! I have a 7-year-old so I get it! Eventually I will do a Spaghetti and Meat Sauce, too! Let me know how it turns out!
Made this yesterday! Quick easy and delicious meal. Thank you Kimberly!! p.s. making your mash potatoes today to go along with my oven roasted turkey breast for dinner! I'll let you know how they turn out :D
Whooo hooooo! LOVE it! So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting our little community know!!!
I skimped on the water to avoid the initial soupiness and ended up with a few spaghetti clumps as a result. I think two jars as stated in the video are the right thing to do.
Thanks for letting everyone know! I'm so glad you tried this because I was SO tempted to not even do one but decided against it after so much research! Thanks for watching and trying out my recipe!
I used less water the second time I made this because with two jars there was just too much sauce. (Not all the water evaporates.) However, one of my daughters loves pasta with extra sauce so it was perfect for her!!
This is a great recipe! But how long would you cook the pasta is you were not making spaghetti and meatballs?
Hi Erika! Good to hear from you and great question. You must have telepathy because I was literally just thinking about this last night!!!! My son has been wanting plain spaghetti noodles every day in quarantine! LOL
I have been experimenting with this and will definitely do a video because there are a lot of variables. If you just do PLAIN spaghetti or shells the time is 3 minutes with a natural release for 10 minutes to keep spewing from occurring! 5 1/2 cups of water per pound of pasta with no sauce. If you want to add sauce to the spaghetti like in this video it is only 4 1/2 cups of water and a jar of sauce for 16 oz. Hope this helps and that you stick around for the pasta video! Stay well!
@@crockpotempire Thank you for this. Sometimes I just want plain pasta too. You are so helpful!
@@jamibishop7208 You're too sweet. Thank you and I hope it worked out for you! My son has now asked if I can make him spaghetti that's not "wet". So, now I am having to drain it and blot with a paper towel but it's still easier than boiling water!!! LOL 😂
Can I use fresh meat balls from the store and what would be the different timings please? I would appreciate your help on this one.
Hi Bernie! You absolutely can use fresh meatballs, but they need longer cook time than frozen obviously! So, in order to make sure they are cooked through you will have to brown them first. Raw meatballs take about 12 minutes and the pasta only needs 8 minutes. Give them a really good sear in some olive oil on sauté mode for about 3 minutes without moving. Then rotate and let sear for about 2 minutes until each side is browned and they should be just fine! Then follow the directions on this video. You can also watch my Homemade Meatballs video to help you with the searing! Just make sure they reach 165 degrees internally after cooking! Bon Appétit!
@@crockpotempire Thank you. I will look at your homemade meatballs video.
Bernie C you are so welcome! Thank you for watching and being so engaged with the CPE fam!
I was really looking forward to this. Have watched this vid a million times so I could copy it my very first time using it. Mine didnt thicken........I was busy and it put itself to keep warm. Also the spaghetti was cooked far too much and was too soft and horrible.
Any tips please
Anne Jones I’m so sorry to hear this, Anne. I test these recipes multiple times and many in our CPE community have had this turn out great. It’s all a perfect science to the amount of sauce/noodles/water and all of the exact measurements are on my blog. The link is in the description box and if you want you can always cut the water down by a 1/2 cup. 💖
@@crockpotempire thank you very much. I know the fault is mine. I will try it again sometime, I wont be beaten by it lol.
I will look for the description box and your blog.
Thank you 🙂
Anne Jones Hahahaha you sound like me when something doesn’t turn out right! Love that can do attitude! You will definitely get it right next time! Just print out the recipe card from my blog. That may help!!! Take care!
@@crockpotempire thank you very much. Did my gammon joint today. 🙂👍
Anne Jones I wanted to do a ham video before the holidays but never got around to it! Did you just cook it in its own juices with a cup of water?
Can I use penne pasta?
Yes, you can use any pasta you desire! I have a new video coming next week with Fusili! They all work wonderfully! Just make sure to cook half the time that the box recommends. Usually around 5-6 minutes.
Best meatballs are homemade.
I couldn't agree more! You should check out my other video for homemade meatballs...this is a convenient way to have an easy and quick supper. Thanks for stopping by!
Me :)
Hahahahaha!!! Love the participation!!! Thanks so much for being here!
Love your channel :)
Terrance Bates that is so kind! It’s comments like this that give me motivation to keep creating content, so thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Does anyone else cringe when you see a metal utensil's in a non stick pot??? LOL creat recipe, trying ti tonight...wish me luck!
Her website with recipes is amazing I have found lots of good ideas to do with my Crock Pot Express. For a foodie like me cooking with this is better than making love to Dolly Parton.
That's not cooking!
It is for busy mom's and dad's who use our Express Crock for crazy weeknights. :)
How’s this even considered cooking? Just heating up premade meatballs in premade sauce. 🤷🏻♂️
It's what we busy moms, dads, college kids and post grad kids call convenience cooking. It's a lifesaver...you should try it. :)
It is considered cooking because the food was not cooked before it went into the pot and cooked when it came out. Not everyone has time to make sauce, meatballs and spaghetti at suppertime, so using store-bought items helps them. I make meatballs and freeze them for later use, but many people are quite satisfied with meatballs from the supermarket. Other people do not like their own food as much as store-bought food. What others eat is of no consequence to you.
