This simple pasta sauce is a breeze to make. Not only does it only take 3 ingredients, but it cooks in the crock pot. You can’t get any easier than that! The sauce gets all of it’s flavor from the garlic and the spices already in the Italian sausage. I served it onto on zucchini noodles for me and regular pasta for my family.
3 Ingredient Crock Pot Pasta Sauce
- 1 lb. Italian sausage (I used a 19.76 oz pkg of mild links and removed the casings)
- 5 cloves garlic, crushed
- 3 (14.5 oz) cans crushed tomatoes (if you like hunks of tomatoes you can use 1 can of diced tomatoes in place of one of the cans of crushed)
- Brown the sausage in a skillet along with the garlic. Drain off the grease and add to a crock pot.
- Add the canned tomatoes to the sausage in the crock pot. Stir to combine and cook on low for 6 – 8 hours. Serve over cooked pasta or zucchini noodles.

Can you explain a little about preparing the zucchini noodles? Thanks!
Deference to site author, some great entropy.
Now that is my kind of pasta sauce. Love how it cooks in the crockpot too! Thanks for sharing.

Simple meals are my favorite! They are so easy to add into your daily routine. This looks delicious and I love that you swapped out regular noodles for the zucchini kind. What a great way to add a little extra fiber and nutrients into your dish.
