What to do with all of your pasta sauce?  Here is an easy recipe that just takes minutes to prepare.  I can't believe how great this tastes.  Having the pasta sauce simmer all day just brings out the amazing flavor. 


Crock Pot Pasta sauce with sausage

Turn your crock pot on low.  Add 1 jar Pasta sauce and half a jar of water. 
(If you have a large family, use 2 jars pasta sauce and I jar water--That is what I use)
Add 1 tsp. italian seasoning and 1 tsp oregano.  Mix.
Add sausage-uncooked and still in long link form 
(I use turkey sausage and my kids love it--$1.99 Oscar Mayer @ Publix)
Let sauce simmer all day. 
30 minutes before you are ready to eat, cut up sausage with a knife, will be very tender

Cook pasta.  Pour sauce over pasta.  Voila super easy dinner!

Another option is to make baked spaghetti by pouring cooked spaghetti noodles in an oven safe container, pouring and mixing in your crock pot pasta sauce and covering with 1 cup shredded mozzarella. 
Put in oven @ 350 for 20 minutes and now you have a really good baked spaghetti dinner.
