Serve these slow cooker garlic noodles straight from the crock on warm, with a big tossed salad or some steamed green beans to brighten up the plate. Garlic bread or simple buttered toast is wonderful for sopping up any extra buttery sauce. If you want to make it feel a little more special, sprinkle on some dried parsley or a pinch of red pepper flakes at the table. A side of rotisserie chicken, grilled sausages, or leftover roast makes this a complete, stick-to-your-ribs dinner without much extra effort.

4 cups chicken broth (or enough to just cover the pasta nests)
6 tablespoons salted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons minced garlic (fresh or jarred)Directions
Spray the inside of your slow cooker lightly with nonstick cooking spray for easier cleanup.
Slow Cookers
Arrange the dry angel hair pasta nests in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker. It’s fine if they overlap a bit, but try to keep them mostly flat so they cook evenly.

In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the chicken broth and minced garlic.
Pour the garlicky chicken broth gently over the dry pasta nests, making sure the nests are mostly submerged. Add a splash more broth or water if needed to just cover the pasta.
Dot the butter pieces evenly over the top of the pasta and broth so they melt down into the noodles as they cook.
