Slow Cooker Tomato Pasta Sauce with Italian Sausage instructions
- Throw all the ingredients into your slow cooker..
- Give it all a few good stirs..
- 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....
- 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..
- 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. :).
- Enjoy with pasta of choice..
Stir in meatballs until well combined; season with salt and pepper, to taste. The slow cooker allows the flavors to develop into a delicious sauce. On those hot summer days when you don't want to heat up the kitchen and you don't feel like going outside to grill, using your crock pot is a lifesaver. Stir the mixture, then set the slow cooker to low, and cook for eight hours. Scoop the beef and pork from the slow cooker and let sit until cool enough to handle.
