Review of the slow cooker sausage tagliatelle recipe.
One of the hearty supper recipes.
From the Just 5 Ingredients Slow Cooker book.
Using everyday ingredients.
Including pasta, tomatoes and mushrooms.
As I’ve mentioned previously, I will review this slow cooker cook book as a whole.
Once I’ve tried out a few more recipes from it.
My Attempt
This recipe, has the main benefit (just like most of the recipes in this slow cooker book). Of a short list of every day ingredients. With sausages, tinned tomatoes, mushrooms and pasta. Along with a few store cupboard items (oil, garlic, onion, beef stock, salt and pepper.)
And using my Morphy Richards 3.5L Slow Cooker. It was easy to brown the sausages and veggies in the Sear and Stew pot on the hob. Before adding in the rest of the ingredients, except the pasta. Then putting the pot in to slow cook. The recipe specified 8 to 10 hours on low.
Slow Cooker Sausage Tagliatelle Recipe Review
Actually, I decided to adjust the recipe timings. And using the helpful table at the front of the book. I could adjust the cooking time using the medium setting. Which was for 6 to 8 hours.
Another thing to note is that although the recipe title in the book was Sausage Tagliatelle. I was hoping to cook the pasta IN the slow cooker, making this a one-pot meal. But that wasn’t the case, the pasta is cooked separately (I used penne pasta, rather than tagliatelle) on the hob.
In fact, I have read that some starchy ingredients, like pasta and basmati rice. Don’t work so well in slow cookers. More on that in future posts.
However, I really liked this recipe. The slow cooked tomato sauce with the added flavour of mushrooms and spicy sausages. Was really very tasty. This is definitely a very good sausage and pasta slow cooker recipe. As it is an easy and hearty main meal for the family.
