Introduction
This is a basic variation on Italian amatriciana sauce - I substituted bacon for the pancetta and added some fresh veggies. The seasonings can be varied according to taste, and 1/3 cup of wine can be substituted for some of the water. Fresh roma tomatoes could be chopped and substituted for the tomato sauce to cut down the sodium.

Ingredients
-
Hunt's Tomato Sauce - 1 15-oz. can
Hunt's Tomato Paste - 1 8-oz. can
Onion 1/2 cup, chopped
Celery 1/2 cup, chopped
Garlic 4 cloves, chopped
Carrots 1/2 cup chopped
Water 1 cup, or 2/3 cup water + 1/3 cup wine
Sugar 2 tsp.
Bacon 4 slices, chopped
Pepper 1/2 tsp.
Salt 1 tsp.
Red Pepper 2 tsp.
Oregano 1 tsp.
Rosemary 1 tbsp.
Thyme 1 tsp.
Directions
Add tomato sauce, paste, liquid, sugar and spices to crock pot and begin cooking on high.
Once the base sauce has started cooking, chop vegetables and bacon, and brown in saucepan until tender. Start with the bacon, then add veggies when fat has started melting. You may add one tablespoon of olive oil, if needed, to keep veggies from burning. When veggies and bacon are nicely browned add them to the sauce in the crock pot. Sauce may be cooked in crock pot 2-4 hours without burning.
Prepare pasta - rigatoni or rotini go nicely with this sauce. One minute before pasta has finished cooking, remove 1-2 tablespoons of pasta water and preserve. Drain pasta, then add pasta and cooking water to sauce. Cook for another one minute in sauce, then serve.
Nutritional Calculation does not include pasta.
