slow cooker Veg Spaghetti Sauce

Cover bottom of slow cooker with about 1/4 inch (or more) puddle of olive oil. Add tomato paste, garlic, about 2 T of basil, 2 T salt, and 1 T sugar and the wine. Set slow cooker on low. Meanwhile, drain and discard excess juice from two (only TWO) cans of whole tomatos. Leave all the juice in 3rd can. Puree tomatos in blender or food processor (you may have to do this in batches). Add pureed tomatos to slow cooker. Stir it up real good to mix all the ingridients. Let simmer 6-8 hours. Taste the stuff. Add more sugar and/or salt as needed. You can include onion, mushroom, green pepper, etc., as your taste prefers. Personally, I frequently double or even triple the garlic.
