CROCKPOT MARINARA SAUCE

Marinara sauce is red sauce for pasta dishes. I could easily go and buy one, but since others have shared so many fresh tomatoes, I am using them up.

Crockpot Marinara Sauce

2 onions, diced
1 green pepper, diced
8 cloves of minced garlic
14 oz. fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes
1 6 oz can of tomato paste
3/4 cup of water
1/4 cup of sugar
1/2 tsp of dried oregano
1/2 tsp of basil
1/2 tsp sage

I saute the onions, garlic, and green pepper. I place all of the ingredients into a crockkpot and cook at high heat for 3-4 hours or 8 hours on low.

Can freeze this in small individual bags for a meal for one.

Today I used fresh sage and basil from my garden. I can add meat at a later time if so desired.
