Mom Marcon's Spaghetti Sauce

Description
This is my mom's spaghetti sauce recipe. She was a full blooded Italian, and a great cook. This sauce thickens up while it cooks. She never measured anything, as you can see from her seasoning ingredients. She would just eyeball it and toss it in. I still cook that way today.

Ingredients

 * 1 large can tomato puree (1 lb, 13 oz)
 * 2 small cans tomato paste (6 oz. each)
 * 1 large onion, diced
 * 2 lbs. hamburger or Italian sausage ( or 1 lb. of each)
 * Garlic clove, minced
 * Oil
 * Oregano
 * Basil
 * Sugar
 * Hot pepper flakes
 * Salt
 * Wine
 * Pepper to taste

Directions

 * 1) Brown onion and garlic in large pot in hot oil.
 * 2) Add tomato puree and paste. For each can of paste, add 2 cans of water (making 4 cans of water total). Stir.
 * 3) Bring to boil.
 * 4) Brown sausage and meat (or if desired, you can use a good meatball recipe and make meatballs out of the ground beef). Add to sauce.
 * 5) Season with basil, oregano, hot pepper flakes, pinch sugar, salt and pepper and wine to taste.
 * 6) Simmer 3 to 5 hours.

Serve over spaghetti, ravioli, Lasagna, etc. may be frozen for later use.
