- Melting the Cream Cheese: Add the cubed cream cheese to the slow cooker and stir until it melts and becomes well combined with the broth and vegetables.
- Pasta Time: Stir in the cooked spaghetti or linguine, making sure the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
- Cheesy Finish: Stir in the shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated throughout the mixture.
