ingredients
- 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
- 1 (680 ml) bottle strained tomatoes
- water (enough to fill the bottle with when empty)
- 1⁄2 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1⁄4 teaspoon basil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon thyme
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 mild Italian sausage
- 1⁄2 cup red wine (any will do)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- meatballs
directions
- Turn crockpot on low add both cans crushed tomato and the jar of strained tomatos, add water to jar, close and shake -- dump water into both cans and stir to get all the leftover tomatos mixed into the water and then dump into crockpot.
- Add the olive oil to the sauce and stir it well.
- Fry your chopped onions and garlic(in olive oil) till tender and add to sauce. Add all spices and wine to sauce.
- Fry your sausages in a pan with olive oil until done then slice them up and add them to the sauce.
- Create the meatballs of your choice (Reference Recipe #92095) and add them raw to the sauce.
- Simmer on high or low for as long as it takes to let the flavors mingle (I do 1 hour on high and 3 hours on low). if you dont have a crock pot, a large saucepan on a cooktop will do the job.
- Tip: add some pasta water (about 1/4 of a cup) while the pasta is nearly done cooking, its a great addition to the sauce!
