Steps:

• In a large pot, cook sausage over medium heat until brown. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. Drain fat from pan, reserving 3 tablespoons.
• Cook garlic and onion in reserved fat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, wine, broth, basil, and oregano. Transfer to a slow cooker, and stir in sausage, zucchini, bell pepper, and parsley.
• Cover, and cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours.
• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain water, and add pasta to the slow cooker. Simmer for a few minutes, and season with salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and onion. Saute until the sausage is browned and onion is soft, about 10 minutes. Keep breaking up the sausage as it cooks. Add carrots and celery, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, parsley, basil, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add sugar and stir well. Continue cooking until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
• Add pasta, salt, and pepper. Cook covered about 30 minutes. Serve warm in bowls with grated cheese on top.
• (**ONLY use Del Monte diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano or it will not taste the way I think it should.).
