  1. if I wanted to make this into a freezer crock pot meal All I would need to do it leave the broth and pasta out until day of cooking right? This sounds yummy

    1. I think you could combine all ingredients in the crock pot, except the pasta and cook on low for about 8 hours. Then, add pasta and cook for about 30 minutes on high until it is cooked through. I think you could also combine everything except pasta and freeze like the previous comment mentioned and then thaw and proceed with the above instructions.
