The idea of making homemade marinara sauce seems daunting...until you break out a secret weapon: the slow cooker!
Make sauce just like nonna used to make, just without slaving over a hot stove all day. The slow cooker does everything for you. Just toss your ingredients in, set in on low, and have your house smell like pizza for the next seven hours.
You’ll never buy marinara sauce from the store again after seeing how delicious and easy this recipe is. Make a big batch and freeze some of it for all your future pizza, pasta, and lasagna needs.
