How to Make Easy Low Fat Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 28 ounces (794g) crushed tomatoes, 15 ounces (425g) tomato sauce, 1 (15-ounce/425g) can tomato paste, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture into your slow cooker.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity).
  5. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  6. If using meatballs (about 1 pound), add them during the last 2 hours of cooking.
  7. Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat!
  8. To freeze: Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers. Freeze for up to 3 months.
