Fresh, homemade tomato sauce makes a world of a difference in pastas, pizzas, and everything in between. A real tomato sauce takes all day to make, so just let the crockpot do the work for you.

Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.

common recipe questions


Can I make this with canned tomatoes?

Since canned tomatoes are softer than fresh, you will need to reduce the cooking time. Start checking them for doneness after about 4 hours.

    The recipe is really a nobrainer but it's nice because you don't have to stir. Also I don't add the paste, I just leave the lid ajar during part of the time so it reduces down. Good flavor.
