? c olive oil
1 medium onion, preferably white, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
28 oz can diced tomatoes or tomato sauce
6 oz tomato paste
1-2 T sugar (optional)*
? c minced oregano
1 T black pepper
1 t any/all of the following: rosemary, sage, thyme, or other herbs
? c grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions Heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes. When it starts becoming translucent, add the garlic and sauté another 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat to high and add the tomatoes/tomato sauce and tomato paste. Stir well to incorporate the paste.
Add the optional sugar, then bring to a boil. Lower heat, add the herbs and pepper, cover, and let simmer for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Note: be very careful when you lift the lid - boiling sauce may splash your hands.
Lower heat, stir in optional cheese, and simmer for another 5 minutes or so. Taste and adjust seasonings. If the sauce is too thick, you can add some water.

2 tbsp. olive oil

1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. basil

How much tomato sauce do you need? I would suggest buying some extra cans of tomato sauce just to make sure you have enough....
If you have a cast iron pan, I think that makes the sauce taste better ... if not, use whatever you have.
You can buy diced tomatoes with garlic and onion or you can buy regular diced tomatoes and add your own garlic and onion - that's up to you.
The following is a taste/cook as you go/change it to fit your needs recipie I use... It takes about 30 to 45 minutes but is yummy. :)
Chop up an onion and brown it on low to medium heat, and a couple of cloves of garlic or the equivalant of garlic powder (whatever you have on hand). On medium to medium high heat, add a can of whole tomatoes with the juice, add another can of whole tomatoes without the juice. Let this cook and simmer down (the tomatoes will break apart). Add 2 to 3 cans of diced tomatoes one at a time, every time the sauce reduces down, add a little more of the juice that comes in the can of the tomatoes (or alternatively you can use tomato sauce if you don't want the salt). Then sprinkle some basil, italian seasoning, oregano, parsley, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar... Stir together... add 1 can of tomato soup ..... If it is too thick add more tomato juice, if it is too thin add tomato paste. Taste. Add more spice and sugar if needed.
This probably sounds more complicated then it is..... it's not a fussy recipie, you just have to keep reducing the liquid until it looks the way you like your sauce.. I like chunky tomatoes in my tomato sauce. :)
Edit: You can also add parmesan cheese at the end. =)
