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
- 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
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Cover, and cook, stirring once in a while, until reduced, 6 to 8 hours. Remove bay leaves and serve.
Cook’s Notes:
You can also cook this in a large pot or Dutch oven instead of a slow cooker. Adjust cooking time as needed.
