List of Ingredients
1 jar (14 oz) of gf/cf pizza sauce
--3 empty jars full of water
--1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
--1/2 red onion, chopped
--1 cup sliced mushrooms
--1 cup baby tomatoes, cut in quarters (or 1 can diced tomatoes, drained)
--2 already-cooked Italian sausage (I used chicken Italian sausage)
--1 cup sliced gf/cf pepperoni, sliced in quarters (Hormel turkey pepperoni is labeled gluten free)
--8 fresh basil leaves, chopped (or 1/2 T dried)
--1 T dried oregano
--1/2 to 1/3 cup of dried pasta (if your pasta is tiny, use 1/3 cup. if it's big, do 1/2. I used 1/2 cup Trader Joe's brown rice penne)
--*shredded cf mozzarella cheese sub (to add later)
Recipe
Use a 5 or 6 quart crockpot for this recipe. Serves 4 hungry adults, or 2 hungry adults and 2 kids with enough leftovers to feed them all again.
Wash and prepare veggies.
Dump them into the crockpot.
Cut up the sausage into small pieces--I sliced, then cut the pieces in fourths.
Add to crockpot.
Cut up the pepperoni, add it, too.
Add basil and oregano.
Pour in the pizza sauce, and follow with three empty jars of water.
Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours.
Everything in this is already cooked, so you are really only heating through and allowing the flavors to meld.
Thirty minutes before serving, add the dry pasta, and turn to high.
My pasta only took 20 minutes to soften quite nicely.
Garnish/top with shredded cf mozzarella cheese sub.
