Recipe Summary Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce

My best friend showed me this slow cooker marinara 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.

Ingredients | San Marzano Marinara Sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

¼ cup finely chopped onion

3 tablespoons minced garlic, or more to taste

3 (14.5 ounce) cans tomato sauce

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

1 tablespoon red wine

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon ground basil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon dried cilantro

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground paprika

1 teaspoon ground oregano

2 large bay leaves

1 pinch white sugar

1 pinch ground cinnamon

Directions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker.

Add tomato sauce and tomato paste to the slow cooker and set temperature to Low. Cook and stir until the paste melts, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine, vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, cilantro, chili powder, paprika, oregano, bay leaves, sugar, and cinnamon; stir until well combined.

Cover, and cook, stirring once in a while, until reduced, 6 to 8 hours. Remove bay leaves and serve.

You can also cook this in a large pot or Dutch oven instead of a slow cooker. Adjust cooking time as needed.

If you have to cook it longer don't worry, it'll be fine. I've done it up to 10 hours. If cooking in a hurry, let simmer on medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes so flavors will blend and the alcohol in the wine burns off.
