Method

In skillet cook the onion and garlic slowly in oil until onion is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer onion and garlic to crock pot. Stir in undrained clams, undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, snipped parsley, bay leaf, sugar, basil, thyme and salt; mix well. Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours. Serve over hot cooked spaghetti.

 

Notes: This delicious sauce is made easy in the crock pot with common pantry items--however, it serves up like a gourmet meal. Serve a classical Italian dinner with green salad and Italian dressing, garlic bread and chianti table wine.
