Who Knew You Could Make Gourmet Food With A Crock Pot?
Nothing hits the spot quite like a hearty helping of rich, saucy, savory spaghetti. One bite of tender pasta and zesty sauce and you won't know what hit you. Yum!
Among spaghetti dishes, Spaghetti Bolognese might just be one of the most satisfying, thanks to its generous servings of vegetables, its ample spices and enough meat to stick to your ribs. However, this enticing dish also has a reputation as one of the more complicated and time-consuming recipes of Italian cuisine.
Enter this crock pot version, which is so easy to make you might just make it once a week!
To learn how to make this indulgent pasta dish, please continue to Page (2) for the full list of ingredients and complete cooking instructions…
Not Prego, if you’re just buying sauce get Bertolli or Classico
Yes Bertolli……trust me….4 cheese….or Tomato basil…

No milk in my sauce!! No celery or carrot either. To each his own though so make it how you like it.

1 cup Chopped Carrot
1 cup Chopped Sweet Yellow Onion
¼ cup Chopped Garlic

Now That You Have Your Ingredients Together You Need to Follow These Next Steps…
Unlike other pasta recipes where you have to cut everything up individually, sauté and then throw it in a large pot to simmer a few hours this one is quite different.
The reason this Bolognese sauce is cooked this way is because it’s richer in flavor and all of the vegetables, meats and spices slow cook into one another.
There is a special step unlike a regular, conventional pasta recipe that you have to adhere to. If you do not take precaution and add everything together then you sauce will come out ruined.
Bolognese is not typically made in a slow cooker because it takes more time. However, the results are unlike anything that you have ever tried before.
The Bolognese Sauce when unused should be put in the refrigerator afterwards. However, make sure that you let it cool down first. You can also freeze this stuff for two weeks.
Let’s Put Everything Together Now.
Directions to Follow:
Throw all ingredients except the spaghetti into the crock pot. Stir to fully combine. Cook on low for 8 – 10 hours. When ready to serve, boil the pasta until al dente. Combine Pasta with sauce. Top with Parmesan Cheese

My mother was full Italian because her parents came from Italy and she will put peas in her sauce
Sounds wonderful!
You can get this rich flavor by simmering pork in the sauce.
I don’t like Recipe Station, It never wants to give you the recipes and it always take you to Pizza Hut
DO not open………computer crashed with virus…
My mother law was a real Italian , and she made it the old. I mean the old way, it’s nothing like this. I make mine the old way and it’s the best, I never make it like the younger people make it or I never buy the jar of the sauces I old way is the real Italian way,, and oh is it GOOD?
I have my bro’s recipe. That is all that is needed. 😉

I make killer Sauce! Damn! Killer sauce! LOL
Or buy Prego $1.99
It’s on FB it must me true…..sauce
Donna will you share your recipe?
Amen
Prego is good
I use my crockpot for my sauce! I put it on first thing in the morning and let it simmer all day. It’s perfection when it’s time to eat dinner. For the days I add meat and I’m not making just marinara, the meat is falling apart tender and melded into the flavor of the sauce from being in the crock all day. My Italian family wouldn’t have it any other way and there’s no mess!
I do the same! I use some and freeze the rest!
I also do that with taco seasoned hamburger. If I don’t feel like cooking…I make a taco salad with it.
I make my own meatballs like my mom used to make. There are no added fillers….just ground beef and minced garlic and spices. When I cook simmer them on stove top with the sauce, they are not as tender as the ones I cook in the crockpot all day. But, most people do, I’ve noticed, add bread crumbs, milk and eggs th the meat. I’m not particularly fond of a ‘watered down meatball’. Give me all beef ones. To each their own. 🙂
Ken Lyons I wish U were My neighbor Ur Gravy sounds wonderful
