Add the remaining ingredients except the pasta to the crock pot. Cover, cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or until the vegetables are soft and the flavors are melded.
About 20 minutes before ready to serve, cook the pasta as directed on the package. Drain well then serve the bolognese sauce over the pasta.

reviews & comments
Very mushy with little taste. Pasta should go in about an hour before serving.
The pasta should not be added to the crockpot, the sauce is served over the pasta.
