There's nothing like slow cooked pasta sauce that's been simmering all day. This homemade spaghetti sauce is loaded with spicy Italian sausage, fire roasted tomatoes and crushed tomatoes. The slow cooker allows the flavors to develop into a delicious sauce. Instead of simmering on the stove top, this Italian sausage spaghetti sauce simmers for hours in the slow cooker and develops a rich and deep flavor.

Slow Cooker Tomato Pasta Sauce with Italian Sausage step by step

  1. Throw all the ingredients into your slow cooker..
  2. Give it all a few good stirs..
  3. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or high for 4 to 5. It's a good idea to stir occasionally if you can to redistribute the seasonings. About 30 mins before you turn off the cooker is a good time to adjust seasonings so they can absorb - more salt if needed, maybe a pinch or two of sugar if your tomatoes are extra acidic, maybe a dash of Balsamic or extra Worcestershire if your tomatoes aren't tangy enough....
  4. A warning about high setting - it can get pretty hot depending on volume & surface area. I have an 8.5 quart slow cooker, which means greater surface area and, as a result, a higher heat for the volume. At 4 hrs on high, I could smell the sugars from the tomatoes and ketchup going from caramelized to burnt on the sides. Less likely to happen if you have a smaller capacity cooker..
  5. As a general rule, the lower the volume and/or the greater the surface area of the cooking vessel, the less the cook time. And there you have it. :).
  6. Enjoy with pasta of choice..

Serve over some pasta noodles and sprinkle with parmesan cheese for a delicious, straight from an Italian restaurant, pasta dinner. Italian sausage recipes are so delicious! The slow cooker simmers everything together for such an amazing meal that is quick and easy. Feel free to try pasta sauce, spaghetti sauce or even marinara in this meal. I actually ended up with a very thick sauce and opted to add some more tomato sauce later in cooking.
