Personal Flair and Reflection
     I chose to use the Good Season Italian dressing mix, but using already prepared Italian dressing would work the same. The spaghetti sauce can be whichever kind is your favorite. I use Ragu Traditional Sauce.

     I was looking through recipes and found one for pork chops that included using spaghetti sauce. I had already been thinking about doing my pork roast in the crock pot with Italian dressing, so I thought about putting the two together somehow. So this recipe was really a creation I played around with. I wasn't sure what to expect having the spaghetti sauce flavor with the pork roast, but surprisingly it took on a whole new taste. The meat was delicious and tender, with just enough flavor to make your taste buds dance.
     You can scoop the sauce and meat over pasta if you wish. I actually added the cooked bow tie pasta to the crock pot and mixed well. I served with corn and buttered bread. Over all it was a success! Enjoy!
