Since you haven't specified what kind of sauce. I'm guessing that you are talking about tomato sauce. And since you left this so general I'll give you a general answer. If you use canned tomato sauce and add your own spices, fried sausage or hamburger and simmer it for 20 minutes you will have a quick sauce for spaghetti.

To make a good meat sauce or gravy as many Italians call it, it is simmered for 2-3 hours. Stir about every 1/2 hour.

lea, I think if you simmer everything until the vegetables are done as YOU like them, then that should do it. Because that is why they are saying cook it in a crock pot until vegs. are done. Would that sound about right to you? Just check it every now and then to see how they are coming along. You will know when they start to get tender.

I think anything you would want to add or take away from this recipe would be fine (your question we went back to, sorry) I do that all the time when I am cooking.

If a cook can't change things on a recipe then where is the "art". It's like telling an artist he/she can only paint what's written down.

You go for whatever you wish. OK? And remember that always when you cook.

nfd?
