Once they are done cooking, let the leg quarters rest for a few minutes before serving.

Additionally, try mixing the pasta with a little bit of the starchy pasta water or a small amount of olive oil before adding the Parmesan, which can help it adhere better. Finally, grate the Parmesan finely and sprinkle it over the pasta just before serving so it doesn’t have time to melt and clump together.
It depends on the recipe and the cut of meat being cooked. Generally, if the meat has enough natural juices, or if the recipe includes other liquids such as broth or wine, you may not need to add water.

It is best to follow the recipe instructions to determine whether or not to add water to a roast in a crock pot.
