This sounds like one my kids would love it’s on my list to try
Can you put the dry pasta in the bag and put all in crockpot? Or instapot?
Pasta will over cook in the crockpot.
how much pasta do you use/ I cant find it in the recipe
can this be done in the pressure cooker?
I tried it in the Instapot and the sauce looked good in the bowl but then when I topped the noodles with it, it became very watery. Almost like it separated and the water ran through the noodles. My family did not like it at all, scale of 1-10, they gave it a 3 and said it was very bland and had no taste. For the Instapot, I cooked it on high pressure for 10 minutes. The chicken was nicely done and flaked apart.
Where can I find the label for this meal?
We have a Vodka Sauce recipe we love and were sad when this one didn’t compare. Could be that this included chicken when we are used to ground beef. I may try freezing the recipe we are used to but I will not be making this version again.
Made a double batch of this. Had to dip into my son’s vodka. Hope he doesn’t notice 😜
What is the use by date on this recipe? Is there somewhere on your sight that has the use by dates or is this something you could put on your recipes?
We suggest 3 months from assembling the freezer meal for best taste.
