Step 3: Add Pasta: Break the 1 pound fettuccine in half and add it to the slow cooker, making sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
Step 4: Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally (about every 30-45 minutes), until the pasta is tender and the sauce is creamy and thickened.
Step 5: Finish and Serve: Once cooked, give it a good final stir to ensure the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
