Hi friend!
Our Easy Weeknight Ragu just got a little easier thanks to the slow cooker. It is a true set‑it‑and‑forget‑it meal. The slow cooker does all the work, and you get rich, comforting pasta sauce with zero effort. I am serving mine with a Pappardelle pasta, but any pasta works here, the star of the show is the crockpot ragu.
A few of my Amazon favorites that I use to create this easy soup are:
