An unique but homey combination of Italian and American tastes, Slow Cooker Italian Drunken Noodle is sure to please. The term “drunken noodle” comes from the splash of rich red wine that enhances the taste profile of this dish, which originates from the lively Italian kitchens. It’s ideal for those who are always on the go but yet want to have a healthy, elegant dinner. The use of a slow cooker simplifies the procedure and allows the flavors to harmonize exquisitely as time passes.
To cut through the richness of the noodles, try serving them with a simple side salad dressed with a mild vinaigrette. To really make it shine, try it with some crusty Italian bread. It will soak up any sauce that is left over. A plate of roasted veggies or a dollop of creamy risotto would round off the spread nicely.
