Homemade spaghetti sauce is so easy to make in the slow cooker with a few pantry staples that you can make it fresh anytime you're in the mood for a big plate of pasta. Sprinkle some parmesan on top and you have a budget friendly kid-approved dinner!
Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- 2 cans (28 ounce each) crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (6 ounce) tomato paste
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 8 cranks fresh black peppercorns
For the Garlic Knots:
- 12 frozen Rhode's white dinner rolls
- ½ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- For the sauce, mix all ingredients together in slow cooker. Cover, turn on low and heat for 8 hours. Serve immediately over pasta, or allow to cool and freeze in ziploc freezer bags.
- For the knots, thaw dinner rolls on parchment paper for about two hours (until no longer frozen, but not risen). Roll each roll into about a 6 inch log, tie ends into a knot. Place each knot in a buttered, 9inch round baking pan (need two). Continue until all rolls in are the pan.
- Cover rolls with plastic wrap and allow to double in size (about 3 hours).
- Melt butter. Whisk in garlic powder and garlic salt. Pour over rolls. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
If using fresh tomatoes, peel them first. You will need approximately 12-16 whole roma tomatoes, depending on the size.
