Slowcooker spaghetti sauce

Rossy2692

Good morning all,

I am on the look out for a spaghetti sauce that i can cook in the slow cooker, one with lots of flavour. Thanks in advance.

i make a normal bolognese sauce in the slowcooker

mince, tin toms, chopped onions, maybe some carrot or celery cut really small to bulkit out a bit.. garlic puree and loads of mixed herbs

switch it on and leave for approx 4hrs,, i usually stir it at som epoint to break up the mince a bit

Thanks but nothing there that I am looking for, i should have mentioned it is a vegetarian sauce i am looking for I have tried one before but it was soooo bland in the sc, I thought maybe someone had succesfully come up with a sauce that is really tasty.

Do you have a recipe for sauce that you don't do in a SC If so, use that; the SC doesn't make food bland, you need to start with good ingredients

Try adding herbs, chilli sauce, tomato puree, ground black pepper, nutmeg, etc.

Hi,

I made a big batch of veg spag bol the other day, i used the usual tinned toms, passa, grated carrott, courgettes, dice onion and garlic - loads. I also out a bag of quorn mince, and a good pince of mixed herbs - Mr T's value. I put it on all day for when i got home from work - the carrotts and courgettes just kind of melt into the sauce. It made loads, i only have me and DS to feed and have 6 portions in the frezzer now.

Thanks for that Penny! lol My experiance with slow cooking in the past has not been good so i thought it must be the sc as i was cooking recipes in the sc'er i usually do on the hob so i just assumed they would taste the same but they didn't, i will give it a go again and try putting extra flavours in, thanks everyone for your help x

as above really, I use lots of onions and mushrooms, veggie mince (Tesco's own is ok), passata, and fresh or dried herbs, make a huge batch and freeze in small containers, so handy when you can't be ar*%d cooking, just thaw in the microwave, and heat on the hob while you cook your pasta, and grate your lovely fresh parmesan (Aldi's is as good as any!) )

i find a good glug of balsamic vinegar gives the sc meals a lovely tasty richness. i also add stock cubes, herbs, grated carrot, red lentils tinned toms,tom puree veggies etc anything and everything gets lobbed in!
