This savory spaghetti sauce is a nice change from some of the sweeter store-bought varieties. With fresh bread and a green salad, you have a complete meal. - Genevieve Hrabe, Plainville, Kansas

This has become my go-to recipe for slow cooker spaghetti. You can do all sorts of things with it as far as additions. I am going to make it tomorrow and add a bell pepper, some real onion and two cans of mushrooms because my wife and I like them. It has my vote and I will make it may times to come.

Husband was a fan, I was not. I prefer chunky spaghetti sauces with lots of veggies. But it was super easy to make!

This is really easy and it tastes fantastic! I was a little hesitant about the seasonings, but they work well with it. I did use fresh onion and garlic, but that was the only things I changed. The whole family loved it and I will definitely be making it again.

I would probably change the spices next time, but the thing I appreciated most about this recipe is that you cook the pasta in the crock pot without dirtying another pot on the stove. The tomato juice provides the moisture you need but it isn't runny by the time you are done. Thanks for teaching me a new cooking technique!

Surprisingly, this is VERY GOOD! I did change the herbs/spices to garlic, oregano & basil though. I served with shredded cheddar on top.
