Crock Pot Marinara Sauce Recipe

Published: Apr 8, 2019 · This post may contain affiliate links

I love Italian food! I could probably live on pasta and garlic bread every day and be happy!  This Crock Pot Marinara Sauce Recipe is just plain delish! I made a lovely bowl of pasta for dinner and topped it with this marinara sauce. It makes enough that I was able to freeze a container of it for later. Woohoo! I love having pre-made ingredients ready to go in the freezer.

This marinara sauce is perfect for dipping breadsticks or garlic bread in. Did I mention that I love garlic bread and some days just make garlic bread for a snack. I may have to make another batch of this crockpot marinara sauce and freeze it in small containers just for dipping bread in.

    Your recipe says 1 Tbsp Olive Onion. Did you mean Olive Oil?
