Slow Cooker Skinny Spaghetti


Ingredients


8 ounces whole wheat spaghetti, broken into small pieces
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin olive oil
1 small sweet onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons capers, drained
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, (more or less to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 (14.5 ounce) cans fire roasted tomatoes


Directions

Add oil to a small skillet and sauté onion over medium-low heat until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute one additional minute.

In a large bowl combine sautéed onion and garlic, and the remaining ingredients. Toss to ensure spaghetti is coated with sauce, add to the slow cooker. 

Cover and cook on low 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until pasta is al dente. 

Serve on a platter and sprinkle with parmesan if desired. Minimum slow cooker size 4 quarts.
