I found this on an Italian home cooking site and changed some of the measurements around till I had a sauce I liked (so feel free to taste test and create your own!) Great as a base for pasta sauces, or by itself with some parmesan. Read more Thicken it up a bit and its also great as a pizza base. See less

EXCELLENT RECIPE! No added sugar or water and the quality of the red wine is important!
