    List of Ingredients




    Herb's Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce

    1 cut-up sweet red pepper and 1 cut-up sweet green pepper
    1 med. onion (or more) finely minced
    4 cloves finely minced garlic
    1 tsp. anchovy paste
    1 TBL. green olive paste AND 1 TBL. ripe olive paste
    1/2 cup EACH ripe and green olive slices (or more) drained
    2 TBL. capers
    1/2 cup to 1 cup dry red wine OR beef stock OR tomato juice
    1 zucchini, finely chopped
    1/4 cup rehydrated spinach flakes OR spinach powder
    1 carrot, diced and 2 celery stocks, strings removed and diced
    2 cans diced tomatoes, juice too
    16 oz. mushroom variety OR just button, 1/2 finely minced and the rest sliced
    1 cup freshly grated parmesan or asiago cheese/OR a combo
    2 Tsp. basil or triple the amount of crumbled fresh leaves, minus stems

    Recipe




    Brown sausages, add onion, red and green peppers,celery and carrots, onion, minced mushrooms, zucchini, and garlic, adding garlic at the end.

    Put in large PAM-sprayed crockpot.

    Add jars of sauce, add the wine to the first sauce jar and fill with water and shake.

    Cheapskate that I am, I then dump it into each of the other sauce jars and shake to get all the sauce!

    Dump it into the crockpot, add remaining ingredients EXCEPT the sliced mushrooms.

    Cook 6-8 hours on LOW, then add sliced mushrooms and cook about 30-60 minutes longer.
