CROCK POT MARINARA SAUCE (VEGETARIAN AND FAT-FREE)



Crock Pot Marinara Sauce (Vegetarian and Fat-Free) image

If possible sauté the onions and garlic in about 3 tablespoons oil in a small skillet before adding to the crock pot, if not then just omit the oil, which will make this marinara sauce pretty much fat-free! You will need a minimum of 4-quart crockpot for this recipe. The longer you cook this sauce on low heat the thicker and richer it will be! but it can also be cooked on high-heat setting for about 5 hours if you want a quicker sauce, I strongly suggest to cook it for a longer time! If desired you can double the recipe, this sauce freezes very well!

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a smoky, caramelized taste. You can roast your tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile for your sauce. Some popular options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes.
  • Simmer your sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering allows the flavors in your sauce to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer your sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Taste your sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed: Every palate is different, so taste your sauce and add more herbs, spices, or salt and pepper as needed.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot marinara sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes, from pasta to pizza to chicken parmesan. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're in the mood for a delicious and hearty marinara sauce, give this Crock-Pot recipe a try.
