If you've been reading my blog for any period of time you know I'm a fan of easy, simple meals. This one falls into that category. Don't be fooled by the post title All Day Simmering Marinara Sauce. I did not stand over the stove stirring this pot all day long.
Rather I went to work for a few hours, let the little miss sleep on my chest while I watched old episodes of Oprah, and basically did anything but tend to this sauce. It is really, a no fuss dish.
I did ponder the many, many things going on between now and Christmas swirling around in my head while trying to focus on Oprah's wisdom, but that is entirely another post all together. Think a holiday dinner/shopping party my friends and I are throwing, DIY holiday gift projects and our annual holiday baking extravaganza. A lot going on!
Back to this sauce. Pour it on everything. Bread, pasta, veggies, grilled chicken, rubber tires, your morning coffee. You get the idea, it makes everything taste good.
All Day Simmering Marinara Sauce
28 oz. can tomato sauce
8 oz. can tomato paste
15 oz. can petite diced tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 t. dried oregano
1 t. dried basil
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
pinch of sugar
Place all ingredients in a slow cooker on low. Cook all day or at least 4-5 hours.
