Ever make spaghetti in a crock pot?

My recipe starts with a half gallon of water. I add my other ingredients, and it simmers for several hours, while the flavors meld, the water cooks off and the sauce thickens.

 

But with the lid on a crock pot the water will never cook off, so the sauce will not get thick.

 

With the lid off of a crock pot, I don't know if it gets hot enough for the water to cook off.

 

I know my wife used the crockpot and my recipe one time, and it looked like pale pink soup.

 

So has anyone ever done it? Anyone have any tips?

Water will definitely cook off in a crock pot. It’s not sealed that tight. I always check the level several times when cooking. Could be you just have too much in there.

True.

 

Actually I no longer do spaghetti at all. I do angel hair - it cooks faster.

Many many years ago, when I was a boy sprout, an assistant scoutmaster on a camping trip showed me how to make spaghetti and sauce in the same pot.

 

He used a packaged sauce - powder, since Ragu and Prego had not been invented yet - and when he had the sauce bubbling merrily he just dropped the spaghetti in it.

 

Wasn't bad. Wasn't as good as Mama's, but wasn't bad. And took a whole lot less time to make.
