Tired of bland, store-bought tomato sauce? This slow cooker tomato sauce recipe is a game-changer! Imagine coming home to the aroma of a rich, flavorful sauce that's been simmering all day. That's the magic of using a slow cooker.
This recipe is incredibly simple. Just toss your favorite ripe tomatoes (fresh or canned!), onions, garlic, herbs like basil and oregano, a touch of sweetness (honey or sugar), and a drizzle of olive oil into your slow cooker. Set it on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4.
Once cooked, use an immersion blender to create a smooth, velvety texture. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. This sauce is perfect for pasta, pizza, lasagna, or even as a base for soups and stews. The slow cooking process intensifies the flavors, resulting in a sauce that's far superior to anything you can buy in a jar. Get ready for pasta night to reach a whole new level!
