Notes
Brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic before adding it to the crockpot. Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, as specified in the recipe. Cook the bowtie pasta separately until al dente, then stir it into the slow cooker with the shredded cheese near the end. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with parsley if desired.
