Slow Cooker Summer! HDF: Spaghetti Sauce




For all of the Prego and Ragu fans out there, I have a question.  Why buy the stuff in a jar when you can easily make your own?  Spaghetti sauce can be made in large batches and...(gasp)...FROZEN!  And...you don`t have to be an Italian mobster mom to make a good sauce.  You really just need some quality ingredients and a crock pot....


*I reduced the amount of sugar, omitted the green pepper, and added red wine (cab).  The wine added some richness and depth!

Recommended to be served atop whole wheat pasta or gnocchi.

Alternative use suggestion?  Omit the onion and pepper.  Then puree the sauce with a hand blender and serve with a grilled cheese...Tomato Basil Soup! =)
