Craving that rich, authentic Italian flavor without slaving over a hot stove? Look no further! This slow cooker marinara sauce recipe is a game-changer. Just toss everything in, set it, and forget it.

Simply combine crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, your favorite Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme), a pinch of sugar (to balance the acidity), and a drizzle of olive oil in your slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. Stir occasionally. That's it!
Use this amazing slow cooker marinara sauce on pasta, pizza, lasagna, or as a dipping sauce for breadsticks. Get ready to elevate your Italian dishes with this simple, flavorful, and incredibly convenient recipe. Buon appetito!
