For the first time I cooked pasta in a slow cooker, so I slightly miscalculated the time, and they turned out to be soft. In fact, the pasta should be slightly undercooked. Our guide in Italy told me this secret. They don't serve boiled soft pasta there. It should be slightly firm, then they do not get better from it, because a lot of calories are consumed during its digestion.

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique.
