At my old SW meetings there were a few members who did pasta in the s/c ....... no idea what it turned out like though - I would imagine it could quite quickly turn to mush?!?

MATH

Pasta takes 10 mins in the micro! I really wouldn't bother with the slo-cooker to cook it.

i would have thought that cooking pasta longer than your suposed to would make it go really mushy.

g/l with it and let us know how it goes

Hmmmmm...

If I wanted to make minestrone soup in the SC, when would I add the pasta pieces if I wanted the rest of the soup to be properly cooked but the pasta bits not to be mush?

artic_fox_2

pasta didnt go mushy at all but there wasnt much liquid in there just 2 tins condense soup and 2 tins worth milk
