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!

Not bad, but there is mo browning of the meats, meaning lost flavor.
I’ll stay with my stove top, dutch oven method, Thanks
THIS RECIPE SUCKS – READ IT – MIGHT AS WELL BUY JAR SAUCE.
Crock pot is nice an slow
I’m making spaghetti chili today.Its cold an snowing here so I wanting some good hot food
Robin, I only get homemade sauce when Marie makes it or my sister in law Barbara Quinn makes it. It takes too long to make for me lol Why make it when they make it and I get to enjoy it.
Ok
If you can’t say something nice………you know how it goes.
Everyone has their own recipe and technique for their sauce. My friend who lived in Boston always used to ask me if I wanted pasta with gravy. I was thinking that brown gravy stuff, on pasta!! Then I found out that it was, and I never refuse pasta w gravy. I notice some sauces are on the sweeter side and some on the spicy. I like the sauce on the sweeter side. That was the sauce I was raised on!
Yum
SAYS WHO? I HAVE MY OWN RECIPE THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Likewise and no carrots
If its traditional Italian then shouldn’t it be called gravy?
Everyone makes their sauce different!
Trying to figure out what to make for Bunco Tuesday night. I love spaghetti so may make that for dinner with some fresh bread sticks from Costco and salad.
Parke J. Shissler , I used Ragu on occasion when our kids were small (MANY years go….) when I was rushed, but it NEVER measured up to the “recipe” I got from my beloved Aunt Ann. I use the word “recipe” with a smile on my face, as she never, ever measured ANYTHING, even when baking. All my Aunts on both sides were incredible cooks. Two of my Aunts had restaurants where they were the only cooks. My mom, sadly, was the WORST cook ever. Boiled our veggies for about two hours……no lie. Good thing I was able to watch my Aunts on occasion. God rest all their souls…….
Prego is my friend. I like it. I have spent all day making sauce, but found that my family like prego just as well.
Christa Cash I use the traditional Oregon. But I brown ground beef and onions, add a can of tomatoes and some spices. We really like at out house. Each to their own. But I love a good home made sauce too,especially with home made meat balls.
Newman’s Own and Bertolli are good sauces in a pinch.
And add ground beef , onions a can of tomatoes and some spices. Simmer for a while. Very good.
Susie Powers have you tried the 3 cheese prego. I started using it to make lasagna. Of course I add other stuff, but I have gotten more complaints on it. I went from my home made sause to this. Now I get friends asking for the recipe. I’m not wasting my time anymore. Prego is my friend.
Christa Cash I haven’t tried the 3 cheese but I will next time I make lasagna. Prego is my friend too lol.
Sorry this recipe is not Italian…..I have never known for milk to go into spagetti sauce.
Lacie Doyle It is a very simple recipe from Italy, not all that extra crap that has been put in recipe books and facebook. You can make it with real tomatoes or this way: Ingredients: Two cans 12oz Tomato paste, two cans 15oz Tomato sauce, a 1/4 cup of olive oil (or vegetable oil) Two cloves of garlic chopped up, One yellow onion chopped, and sweet basil………Directions: In a deep sauce pan cook together oil, garlic, and onion until it starts to brown. Add tomato paste, stir in sweet basil. Add two cans of water, stir well then add two more cans of water. Add tomato sauce and two cans of water salt and pepper to taste. Add about 1 tblsp of sugar for acidity , and simmer till thick….about an hour and a half. You can add ground beef, meatballs and or Italian sausage They make the sauce extra delicious.
I see lots of comments about spaghetti gravies or sauces, but no recipes!! I would really like a good, old fashioned recipe!! Please post ASAP!!
Nancy Ciliberti Aufner Thank you!
It tastes terrible. They all come out tasting the same.
What a maze of clickbait and malware traps!
I will for sure make this
Duck off
Tried to find recipe, tooooo much junk , never did find it……………
Traditional sauce did not have meat in it- there was not money to buy meat.
I thought if it has neat it is gravy and tomato only sauce (marinara)?
i have always done my sauce in the crock pot. This sauce is not even close to gourmet.. not Italian but have a great sauce that I use.
I like the advice on sauce by two Italian chefs I have watched on TV for year “the sauce shouldn’t take any longer to cook than the pasta. I have found sauce cooked for hours is way to strong and I don’t like the taste.
Lacie Doyle ….When I was a kid, I lived in a huge 3 story house in a little town outside the Kansas City ,Missouri limits. My folks turned the house into a boarding home for the elderly and for working men. One of our boarders was a larger-than-life gentleman named Gabe. He was a big, rugged individual and he came from Sicily. Although he loved my mom’s cooking, he said her spaghetti was not the real deal….. I love the recipe he gave my mom for authentic Sicilian spaghetti. …it only has 2 tbsp. of tomato paste in it…this is the recipe my brothers and I always requested for our birthday dinners. If you want the recipe, just tell me and I’ll put it on here. 🙂
I have my best friends mother’s spaghetti sauce recipe and she was full blooded Italian. No celery, carrots, etc. in her sauce and it is the best I’ve ever had.
I make my own. Crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, bell pepper and celery. With basil and oregano from my garden. No water added. The cans od tomatoes are rinsed with red wine.
My Dad loved to make his own sauce. He was Polish not Italian..
looks like mine!
I never heard of putting milk in spaghetti sauce, nor celery!
Looks to watery.. ijs
ty
Looks so good can’t wait to try!!
They lost me at celery and carrots
I make my own but never in a crock pot and I always sauté my meats and my onions first to get more flavor in my sauce I don’t think I could miss that step ! But I do like the ingredients she puts in this sauce
Bingo, Maureen O’Brien Henault
hmmm looks good.
my dad always put onion and green pepper in his spaghetti sauce and i like that flavor better.
Could be good
Celery and carrots? No way.
