Ingredients for International Lemon Herb Linguine

Instructions

Lightly grease the slow cooker pot or liner with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the linguine pasta inside the slow cooker, breaking it gently in half if needed to fit.
Add the minced garlic and finely diced onion on top of the pasta.
Pour in the vegetable broth and water, ensuring the pasta is mostly submerged. Do not stir yet.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, thyme, basil, salt, and black pepper evenly over the mixture.
Drizzle the olive oil over the ingredients.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 1 hour and 15 minutes, checking after 1 hour. Gently stir the pasta to ensure even cooking and prevent clumping.
Continue cooking for an additional 15-30 minutes or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Turn off the slow cooker, then stir in the Parmesan cheese (if using), fresh parsley, fresh basil, and butter (or plant-based alternative) until well combined and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
Serve warm as a delightful, bright, herbaceous meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and freeze well for up to 3 months.
