SLOW COOKER MARINARA SAUCE



Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce image

My best friend showed me this slow cooker marinara recipe, and I just had to share it. The spices in here can all be adjusted to taste (and eyeballed), but this is how I learned to do it. The best flavor calls to cook it all day, but it can be made in a pinch if you have to! Serve over your favorite pasta or with crispy chicken. Can also be used in lasagna or ravioli.

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
1 cup finely crushed garlic and herb pita chips (about 1 1/2 cups whole chips)
6 sticks string cheese, cut in half
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons pesto

Steps:

  • Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep pan to 330 degrees F.
  • Place the flour in a shallow dish, season with salt and pepper then stir. Beat together the egg with salt and pepper in a second shallow dish. Place the finely crushed garlic and herb pita chips in a third shallow dish. Dip each cheese stick half in flour, shaking off the excess, then in the egg, then repeat the flour and egg. Lastly, dip each in the pita chips, pressing to coat. At this point, freeze for 15 minutes to firm the sticks before frying.
  • Combine the marinara, cream and pesto in a small sauce pot. Stir and heat through.
  • Fry the mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, turning, until golden brown on all sides, about 30 seconds. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
