Sauce, for sure. There doesn't seem to be any real benefit to using one for the pasta, though -- unless you have no other pan. The water would take forever, to boil:-)
After you boil the pasta, you could definitely mix the two, and use the crock pot, to keep the spaghetti warm.

The noodles.
I have seen several recipes where it says you can break them up and put in the already cooking sauce, but I don't know anyone who has actually done that.

Well, there are people who like to bake lasagna that way, in the oven, with dried noodles.
I suspect that extra water would be necessary.
For myself, I'd cook the noodles separately. It just doesn't take that long, and you'd be sure that they were properly cooked, and not all slimy:-) (or uncooked). Heck, though, if you've got several recipes, it must be a perfected art, by now:-)

I am actually having one of those days where it will take too much time to cook the pasta! LOL
I may just undercook it now, and put it in with the meatballs to warm.

Annie: One thing you might want to do..is make sure you have enough sauce with it, as it tends to dry out a bit if you are skimpy with the sauce

Thanks. Carpools ended up working out, so I am just going cook it the regular way.
I do my lasagna without baking the noodles but never in the crock pot.

Heck, I saw this thread and thought it said crackpot question. I jumped right in to find out what a crackpot question was, LOL. Was really confused to see "can you cook spaghetti in one?" and then saw it said crockpot! Time for me to go to bed, LOL.

Eggie, I have friends that swear you can if you break them up into 3rds, but alas, I was too chicken to try.

Gosh, I thought I had posted in here about posting a message in the Cooking Corner. Hmm, now Wargod brings up this crackpot question and leaves me wondering about myself...

Anyway, I have posted the recipe for lasagna made in a crockpot...I'm sure you folks would enjoy it for its ease of preparation and general yumminess. Since the noodles must be broken into bite-sized pieces, I'm wondering if Texannie's friends are correct. It sure would save some time.

Add me, too. I don't think I'd have gotten confused if it weren't in the Free Expression area, lol ...
