You said "spaghetti," which is a pasta made of semolina and water. Semolina is a style of wheat. In general, spaghetti is "factory-made macaroni pasta" like fusilli, penne and rigatoni. It's not easy to make spaghetti at home because the dough must be pushed thru a perforated die to shape it. Then, it must dry completely.
If you are really saying "pasta sauce", that's a different matter. We use the basic Italian tomato sauce. The ingredients are a can of imported Italian plum tomatoes, cut up, with the juice, plus butter, a peeled onion cut in half, and salt to taste. The trick is a very slow simmer, about 45 minutes. Discard the onion pieces before serving.
I saute sliced mushrooms and minced garlic in butter. Then I add a jar of Classico roasted garlic alfredo sauce. After it's heated I add a good splash of half and half and my Parm-asiago-Romano blend. Add a good pinch of fresh ground black pepper, and garnish with either chopped parsley or cilantro.
