Slow Cooker Veggie-Loaded Marinara

This slow cooker veggie-loaded marinara is a versatile, nutrient-dense take on the classic Italian tomato sauce. By slowly simmering whole peeled tomatoes with a colourful medley of carrots, celery, and red peppers, the sauce develops a deep, mellow sweetness and a rich texture. It is a brilliant way to pack extra portions of vegetables into a meal, especially for those following a vegan diet or looking for a lighter, homemade alternative to shop-bought jars.

Ideal for busy weekdays, this healthy batch-cook recipe requires minimal prep before the slow cooker takes over the hard work. Once blended to a smooth or slightly chunky finish, the sauce clings perfectly to your favourite pasta, makes a delicious base for homemade pizzas, or can be frozen in portions for quick future dinners. Serve it with a scattering of fresh basil for an authentic finish.
