Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pasta with minced meat in a slow cooker? Prepare your food. Take high-quality pasta, made from durum wheat, it is tastier, healthier and less boiled. I would also advise taking those that take a long time to cook — 10 minutes or longer. But thin spaghetti is better cooked in the usual way. Any minced meat will do, I used homemade beef. Instead of tomatoes, you can use tomato paste or canned tomatoes.

Peel the onion, wash it and cut it into small cubes.

Remove the skins from the tomatoes. To do this, wash them and make a cross-shaped cut on each.

Step 10

Step 10
Pour in the water; it should be just boiled or very hot so that the device does not have to waste time heating it. The water should cover the pasta. I went a little overboard with the quantity; I could have poured less on my finger. Add salt and spices. Take them to your liking. I use Italian herbs and ground black pepper.

Step 11

Step 11
Close the lid and turn on the “Extinguishing” mode, set the time to 20 minutes. After the end signal, open the lid, stir the paste and leave it to stand under the closed lid for another 5 minutes to absorb the remaining water.
