METHOD

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook for 2 minutes more. In the slow cooker, combine all of the ingredients (except the seitan and pasta) and 112 cups water. Cook for 6 to 8 hours on low, adding the seitan in the last hour. If cooking on high, cook for 3 to 4 hours, adding the seitan for the last half hour.

Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions, then top with the seitan pasta sauce.
