Vegetarian American Chop Suey (Crock-Pot)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, crushed
• 1 (12 ounce) package frozen vegetarian veggie crumbles
• 1 -2 cup hot water
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• salt
• pepper
• 8 ounces pasta (I used bow ties, but any macaroni-type of pasta will work)
• 1 tablespoon basil, chopped
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

1. In a skillet over medium heat heat oil and then add onion, cooking until softened. Stir in garlic and cook another minute or so. Although I didn't use them I thought a green pepper and/or mushrooms would be great to add to the skillet.
2. Transfer onion mixture to the crockpot.
3. Stir in next 7 ingredients (tomatoes - pepper) and cook on low for 3 1/2 hours.
4. Stir in pasta, cover and cook on low for another 30 minutes.
5. Stir in basil and sprinkle with cheese.
