Homemade spaghetti sauce recipe?!

Homemade spaghetti sauce recipe?

When my grandfather was alive, (who was from Italy) I remember it taking him all day long to cook his spaghetti sauce. I have tried to create my own recipe, but its just not the same. Does anyone have any recipes? Grazie!

Oh my gosh! How am I going to pick the best answer!! Thats impossible because they all sound wonderful!! Thank you all for the recipes and I'm going to try all of them!

Here is a family recipe
4 cans of tomatoes, 2 kitchen ready and 2 whole peeled, brands count. Pastene is a suggestion, but there are many. Just no Hunts,store brand or deep discount.

first 2 cans of the whole peeled and hand squish them, and either use a blender or handblender to them. Then add the kitchen ready with 1.25 can of water using the residue of the tomates from the cans.

low heat, add cracked peper and salt to your taste.
oregano tsp,
fresh basil 10-12 leaves or 1 tsp of dry
tsp of fennel(crush in your fingers)
** do not stir, until the gravy stars to bubble**
**Once it bubbles, then stir every 15 minutes gentley
******************************...
in another frying pan adjacent
-One hot italian sausage, 2 sweet sausage
-put in half of one onion to suck up oil
Also make meatballs.
-1 1lb ground beef, lean
parsely 1 tbp ,
salt and pepper taste
1 tbp spoon of bread crumbs
1 tsp of dried basil.
1 tsp of grated cheese
1 whole egg, and a 2nd yolk only
mix in bowl and form to size of golf ball
------------
**You can use a blend of pork, veal and ground beef or you can use turkey for the meatballs if you want to be healthier.
I suggest you not to subsitute on the sausage unless you have cooked with italian sausage.

Do not crowd the frying pan overwise it would be difficult to brown by turning the meaballs
As they done browning add to gravy

Once all meat is cooked partially cover the gravy with cover. Make sure to allow some allow some heat to escape.

** I suggest rigantoni, some other pasta with ridges to grab the gravy
