Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the meat and cook, without stirring, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Break it up with a wooden spoon, then add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Add the crushed tomatoes and oregano and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened and the flavors come together, about 1 hour.
• About 20 minutes before the sauce is done, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Drop in the pasta, give it a stir and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Remove from the heat, toss in the cheese and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Sautee onions in a large pot with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When onions have become translucent add the two jars of Spaghetti sauce, and can of chopped tomatoes. (I drain the tomatoes and reserve the juice for adding, if too thick)
• 2. In a large skillet brown ground beef and Italian sausage until completely cooked, drain fat from meat, and add meat into the large pot with the sauce.
• 3. Add chopped pepperoni to the sauce mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasonings to mixture.
• 4. You can simmer this for 30min, but I prefer to load it into my crock pot and let it go on low for 3~4hrs.
• 5. Season w/ S&P at the end because of the spicy meats and add the sliced mushrooms and sliced black olives if you like.
• 6. I use this basic sauce for Spaghetti, Lasagna and Italian casserole dishes. It freezes well and gets better in the fridge after a day or two. I often double this recipe, freeze in 1# containers and have a Spaghetti dinner quickly, any time I want it.
