• 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
• 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 4 oz can sliced mushrooms, drained (I used fresh)

• 2 stalks celery, chopped (optional)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredients, except spaghetti, in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until vegetables are tender (Note: I cooked it 8 hours & it still tasted wonderful)
Turn setting to high, stir in spaghetti and cover.
Stir after 10 minutes.
Cover and cook until pasta is tender, about 20 minutes more (but check it after 10 minutes - if the pasta gets mushy it'll spoil the whole dish!).
Yields 1 1/2 cups per serving.
