Servings: persons

2 lb ground Italian sausage, mild
1 Vidalia onion, chopped
4 clove garlic, minced
1 can diced tomatoes (28 oz)
2 can tomato paste (6 oz. ea.)
2 can tomato sauce (15 oz. ea.)
1 cup water (for long simmer times only)
3 tsp basil
2 tsp dried parsley flakes
3 bay leaves
1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine (can substitute with Worcestershire sauce)
1 cooked spaghetti noodles
1 Parmesan cheese

1
In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir.
2
Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened.
3
Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water.
4
(I usually add the garlic a couple minutes after adding onions, but several minutes before adding sauce, but you have to be careful not to let the garlic burn.)
5
Add basil, parsley, bay leaves, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
6
Stir well and barely bring to a boil.
7
Stir in red wine.
8
Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour.
9
A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!
10
Cook spaghetti noodles to package directions.
11
Spoon sauce over drained spaghetti noodles and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
12
*The left-over spaghetti sauce freezes well to use with lasagna.
