Ingredients




Olive oil as needed
1 pound mild Italian sausage links
1 medium onion chopped
1/4 cup shredded carrot (1 small carrot)
1 sweet bell pepper (use red or yellow)
1 medium yellow summer squash or zucchini seeded, and ch
2 garlic cloves minced
4 fresh basil leaves - (to 6) chopped
6 sun-dried tomatoes diced
1 small can tomato paste - (6 oz)
1 can diced tomatoes - (15 oz) undrained
1 tablespoon water

Preparation

1 Brown sausage on all sides in a little olive oil; add onions and saute until onions are slightly browned. Slice sausage; place in the crockpot with the onion. Add remaining ingredients; cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or 3 to 4 hours on HIGH (you may need a little more water if you cook it on HIGH). 2 If the sauce is a too thick, add a little more water. I sometimes add an extra tablespoon or 2 of water and a tablespoon of dry Alfredo sauce mix. 3 This recipe yields sauce for 4 servings. 4 Comments: A colorful tomato-based pasta sauce sweetened with fresh basil and shredded carrots. 5 NOTES :
