Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2, 7-oz cans minced clams, undrained
• 1 14-oz can tomatoes, cut up
• 1 12 oz can tomato paste
• 1 Tbsp snipped parsley
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp dried basil, crumbled
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme, crushed
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Hot cooked spaghetti

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.
