In Galesburg, Illinois, Sue Mackey simmers a flavorful marinara sauce for most of the day. Then shortly before mealtime, she simply adds cooked shrimp, which merely require being heated through. Served over spaghetti, it makes a delicious dressed-up main dish.

Ingredients:
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
• 1/2 to 1 cup water
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3/4 pound spaghetti, cooked and drained
• Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions:
1. In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the first nine ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours.

2. Stir in shrimp. Cover and cook 20 minutes longer or just until shrimp turn pink. Serve with spaghetti. Sprinkle with cheese if desired.
