‘Stick to ribs’ generally means crockpot to me...

1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup water
8 oz spaghetti, cooked

That actually looks like it has enough flavor to come out well in the crock pot.
I love the crock pot in theory - but almost everything we’ve made in it has come out tasteless, except pulled pork, and a thing I made from one of those ‘meal kits’ a few months ago - I think it was jambalaya.
I just haven’t learned the trick of good ‘crockpotting’.
