Arrabiata Sauce for Crock-Pot

Angry sauce! Healthy, easy, spicy tomato sauce to serve over pasta (my preference is penne). From my friend, Marian, modified for a crockpot.

• Ready In: 4 hrs 5 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 1  tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1  medium onion, chopped
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 1⁄8 cup red wine
• 2  teaspoons salt (or to taste)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons pepper (or to taste)
• 1  tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
2. Add garlic, sauté until flavor is released, about a minute.
3. Sauté onion until softened.
4. Stir crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes into crockpot.
5. Add onion.
6. Cook on low heat 4 hours. (I'm recommending four hours as a median time. It can be cooked more or less--I've made it in two hours, as well as let it cook for up to eight, and it was delicious each time. The original recipe calls for preparation over a stove with the instruction to "simmer until you can't stand it"--so it's really up to you.).
