At every gathering, my family now refers to it as ‘Warm Embrace in a Bowl’ because it’s always in high demand!

1. In the slow cooker, combine the heavy cream, butter, chicken broth, and minced garlic.
2. Cover and cook on low for 1 to 2 hours, or until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.
3. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it’s fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
4. Break the fettuccine noodles in half and add them to the slow cooker, stirring to coat them in the sauce.
5. Cover and cook on low for an additional 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and have absorbed the sauce.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Variations & TipsFor a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream. If you prefer a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. For a more robust flavor, consider adding cooked, sliced chicken breast or sautéed mushrooms to the dish. If you’re serving picky eaters, you can offer toppings like crispy bacon bits or steamed broccoli on the side, allowing everyone to customize their plate.
