3: Drain and rinse with cold water; drain again.

4: Combine the butter, flour, and salt in a 4-quart slow cooker, stirring with a whisk.

5: Stir in the half-and-half, mozzarella, and 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese.

6: Add the partially cooked pasta and stir to coat.

7: Cover and cook on LOW until slightly thickened and creamy, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

8: Prepare toppings while the pasta cooks.

9: After 1 hour and 30 minutes, remove the lid, stir, and sprinkle in the remaining 1 cup of cheddar.

10: Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the liquid is nearly absorbed, about 15 to 30 minutes.
