Tomato Sauce in Crock Pot

Submitted by Deantini

"This recipe was created as part of the ZWT 8 Crock Pot challenge where you had to convert a recipe into a recipe cooked in a crock pot. The original recipe was posted by Magpie Diner - recipe #483372. The orignal recipe called for 1/3 cup of olive oil which I reduced to 1 tbsp as well as fresh thyme and marjoram, which I switched to chives and parsley. I used roma tomatoes and blended the sauce for a consistent texture"
