Crockpot Pasta Sauce With Sausage And Sun-Dried Tomatoes

 

olive oil as needed

3 of the Tofurky Italian sausages  or Yves brand, cut in thick rounds

1 medium onion, chopped

1/4 cup shredded carrot

1 sweet bell pepper, use red or yellow

1 yellow summer squash or zucchini, chopped 1/2 " pieces

2 garlic cloves, minced

4 to 6 fresh basil leaves, chopped

6 sun-dried tomatoes, diced (I use the ones in oil)

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 6 oz. can small can tomato paste

1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained

2 tablespoon water

 

Brown the rounds  in a little olive oil; add onions and saute until onions are

slightly browned. Place rounds in the crockpot with the onion. Add remaining

ingredients; cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or 3 to 4 hours on HIGH

(you may need a little more water if you cook it on HIGH).

If the sauce is a too thick, add a little more water. I sometimes add an extra

tablespoon or 2 of water.Yields 4 servings.

Use with cooked pasta or make an open faced hot sandwich with it.
