Thanks for the reply. Funny enough...today I was reading a Slow Cooker magazine and it answered that very question under the Do's & Don'ts section. DO NOT add uncooked pasta. It did got go into an explanation, but my guess is the very reason you gave.
Thanks again!
I just discovered this site and I'm sure I'll be checking back often for all sorts of advice.
Does anyone know if you can use uncooked pasta in a crock pot? I've been looking for a chili mac sort of recipe (even just sauce and pasta), but can't seem to find anything that calls for UNCOOKED...
