GRANDMA MAGGIO'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE
This is one that was recited to me out of memory alone, and described as a hand of garlic, etc., though the ingredient quantities should be accurate. I encourage buying the cheapest versions of these ingredients you can find; it will feed an army for about $15 without ruining the taste. You should add more seasonings based on preference. A great vegetarian sauce, and with meatballs...it makes great meatball sandwiches.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onion and garlic until translucent but not browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and basil, and cook and stir until the basil is wilted and the mushrooms are cooked through and have given up their juices, about 10 minutes.
- Pour in the whole peeled tomatoes, and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring and chopping the tomatoes into pieces with a spoon. Pour in the tomato sauce and stir, crushing any large pieces of tomato left, and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened and bubbling, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
- Stir the tomato paste into the sauce, and fill the empty tomato paste can with Merlot wine, stirring to dissolve any remaining tomato paste in the can. Pour the Merlot wine into the sauce, and stir well to combine. Bring the sauce back to a simmer, and stir in the salt, pepper, dried oregano, and sugar. Let the sauce simmer until the seasonings are blended and the sauce is heated through, about 3 more minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, firm vegetables, and high-quality pasta.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Al dente pasta is still slightly firm to the bite and has a better texture.
- Use a large pot: Make sure you use a large enough pot to cook the pasta so that it has plenty of room to move around. This will help prevent the pasta from sticking together.
- Add salt to the pasta water: Salting the pasta water helps to flavor the pasta and prevents it from becoming bland.
- Use a wooden spoon to stir the sauce: A wooden spoon is less likely to scratch the pot or pan than a metal spoon.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce for a while allows the flavors to meld and develop.
- Add fresh herbs at the end of cooking: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or parsley add a pop of flavor to the dish.
