Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce

 

The taste of homemade marinara sauce can never be replaced by a jar sauce. Not only does homemade marinara sauce taste so much better, but I’m able to control qualify of the ingredients and amount of salt in the recipe. Jar sauces (even high quality and organic brands) often contain way too much salt.

It does take time to make a homemade pasta sauce, so I choose to make large batches of sauce, in a slow cooker, and freeze in portion sizes. I find 3 cup portions are the most useful, since many recipes call for a jar of pasta sauce (equaling 3 cups). Marinara sauce is so versatile in the typical American diet. I know my family frequently enjoys a wide variety of Italian dishes. I hope you enjoy this slow cooker marinara sauce in your family’s favorite dishes, just like we do.
