Notes

If you want to cook the pasta in the crockpot, add 14 oz of chicken broth with the heavy cream. When you take out the chicken to shred, pour in your dried pasta, stir, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes. Keep the chicken warm, and then add it back once the pasta is cooked.
If you don’t like it spicy, you can cut back on the Cajun seasoning and use any other sausage that you like.
