Instructions to make Slow Cooker Tomato Pasta Sauce with Italian Sausage:
  1. Throw all the ingredients into your slow cooker.
  2. Give it all a few good stirs.
  3. 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…
  4. 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.
  5. 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. :)
  6. Enjoy with pasta of choice.

Use lean ground beef or ground turkey in place of the sausages to make the sauce lighter. Feel free to use fire-roasted tomatoes for added flavor. Easily enhance jarred pasta sauce with Italian sausages, garlic, peppers and onion. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Serve sausage mixture over pasta; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
