- Chicken Broth - I use Chicken broth along with all other ingredients as it really makes the Crockpot Alfredo sauce more flavourful and delicious.
- Garlic Powder - You can use freshly chopped Garlic as well.

Can I add raw pasta into the Crockpot?
Yes you can. This is one of the best part about cooking Alfredo Pasta in the crockpot. You can add raw pasta right into the crockpot and let it simmer and cook in the same pot along with all the other ingredients.
Note: However if you're using Pasta's like Linguine or Angel Hair, I would prefer to not add it into the crockpot as that would make the Pasta really very mushy.
How to store Leftover Chicken Alfredo?
Refrigerate: You can store leftover Chicken Alfredo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for upto a week. Reheat it in the oven before serving.
Freeze: You can pack the leftover Chicken Alfredo in a ziplock bag in an airtight container in the freezer for upto 6 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven before serving.
