Then boil a pound of any pasta that you like in salted water according to the package directions.

I had both penne and bowtie pasta… and this is what my son picked.

While the pasta is boiling, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the Crock Pot.

Stir until combined.

Taste for seasoning at this point and add more kosher salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, or crushed red pepper if needed.
