Spaghetti in a Crock Pot

I tried something different Thursday night for supper. I read where I could make spaghetti in the crock pot. I had bought canned spaghetti sauce because I knew I was going to be so busy.  So I dumped the spaghetti sauce in the crock pot and turned it on high to get it hot.  I read where you only had to put spaghetti in for 1 hour on high and it would cook.

All recipes called for about 4 oz of spaghetti and I was planning on doubling but I think I put too much spaghetti in because it was so thick and gooey.

I may try it again and try using the right amount of spaghetti but not sure I will even try it again.

I've made spaghetti and Italian meatballs in the crockpot, and they're just incredible, but I closely followed the recipe so I wouldn't have too much of anything in it......it cooked for about 4 to 6 hours or so......I think that I posted it a long time ago under "Crockpot Recipes" here on Gather.

I'd like to try the Spaghetti in the crockpot! I usually do chicken, turkey breast, roast, and meatballs in the crockpot. Nora, I'll have to check out your Crockpot Recipes on Gather.

Sorry it didn't work quite right. 4 oz would not be enough for my family.

Mine either so I added more spaghetti but evidentally too much.

wow never heard of it. we don't do spaghetti too often but it might be something I would consider.

Seems like crock pots either work great or totally mess up the meal. I've done both, lol.

I don't think this is something I'd need to do in the crockpot. Sorry it didn't turn out for you.

I feel like it would be so much easier cooking it the regular way, faster too! But would be fun to experiment!
Cathie M. Jul 25, 2011, 9:07am UTC
I was so rushed that day and thought that this would be so easy. It was easy but didn't taste to suit me but I will experiment with it until I get it right. Thanks for the comment.

I would think it would get mushy.
Jennifer R. Jul 25, 2011, 1:12pm UTC
Never tried it this way.
Shannon R. Jul 25, 2011, 2:01pm UTC
I've never that but spaghetti takes so little time to make on the stove that I dont think I would bother with the crock pot anyway.
