For a richer sauce, consider roasting the tomatoes before adding them to the slow cooker. This intensifies their flavor and adds a touch of sweetness. If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to puree it before freezing. Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite herbs and spices. A pinch of red pepper flakes or a bay leaf would be delicious additions. To make a meat sauce, brown half a pound of ground beef or Italian sausage in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker along with the other ingredients. Drain off any excess grease before adding it to the sauce. The sauce can also be canned using proper canning techniques for longer storage at room temperature.
