Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce
My best friend showed me this slow cooker marinara sauce recipe, and I just had to share it. The spices in here can all be adjusted to taste (and eyeballed), but this is how I learned to do it. The best flavor calls to cook it all day, but it can be made in a pinch if you have to. Serve over your favorite pasta or with crispy chicken. Can also be used in lasagna or ravioli.
