Add pasta to a slow cooker for a meal your family will be begging you to make over and over

1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into pieces
1 tbsp minced garlic
3 cups sliced carrots
½ cup diced white onions
½ cup sliced butter
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried basil
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 cup frozen peas
1 lb. rotini pasta (or your favorite short pasta shape, cooked as per the pack instructions)
Parmesan cheese to serve

1.  Place the chicken, garlic, carrots, onions, butter, thyme, basil, salt and pepper into your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

2.  When the cooking time is finished, add the peas and pasta, stirring thoroughly to combine, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.

There’s a few things you can do to ring the changes with this recipe.  How about some thickly-sliced herby sausages instead of the chicken, or adding a pack of pancetta for a slightly sweet and smoky note?  If your family loves goat’s cheese, you could stir some through at the end instead of the Parmesan.  Whichever way you go with this, it’s definitely one to dig in and enjoy!
