Simply omit the broth and noodles from the crock-pot and continue with the recipe to cook the meatballs until they are thoroughly cooked, which takes about 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low if you plan to prepare the spaghetti separately on the stove. You can cook pasta just as easily with water if you prefer, but we use chicken broth to give it an extra layer of umami.
You can still make the sauce and meatballs in the slow cooker even if you don’t want to cook the spaghetti in it. Without having to worry about simmering and continuous stirring on the stove, it’s possible to get a flavorful sauce and tender meatballs by letting the sauce cook slowly all day.
