Nobody really knows? I can ask my mom but I should call her overseas...
Answers:
If you don't mind calling your Mom,.. well no-one can come up with a sauce that can be better than Mom's! =)
Here's a suggestion or two.
1) olive oil
2) 5/6 cloves garlic (fresh/peeled/chopped)
3) ground lean beef or lamb - (lamb is very flavorful and naturally leaner than beef)
4) Four (4) or five (5) fresh tomatoes
(semi firm, rinsed/chopped)
5) About 16 ounces(1 lb.) fresh or frozen peas (canned is mushy)
6) Squash/Zucchini/Mushrooms - (basically, any 'meaty' vegetable(s) in season that you like) rinsed, chopped - about 1 cup
* any pasta you like
Just a bit of freshly grated Parmagiano Reggiano for finishing your dish - (intense, aromatic flavor)
Directions:
Cook first three ingredients on low/medium flame until meat is cooked through. Adjust flame accordingly.
Add next three ingredients to meat. Cook slowly, mixing occasionally. When it starts to bubble all around, bring flame down to low. Add about 1/2 - 1 cup of water and simmer (covered) for at least 45 minutes.
(salt to taste)
Prepare pasta as you like it.
Serve sauce over pasta finished with a bit of the grated cheese.

Here's another recipe:
1) olive oil
2) 5/6 cloves garlic (fresh/peeled/sliced)
3) Stew meat (chunks of meat)
4)1 can of beer (inexpensive is fine)
5) 1 can of beef broth
6) Boiled water
7) 2/3 tomatoes (rinsed and cut into large chunks
8) 4/5 red bliss potatoes (they're smoother and less starchy than Idahoes, etc)
rinse/or peel and cut into large chunks
9) 5/6 carrots rinsed/peeled/ cut into large chunks
Directions:
1) Brown the meat with oil, garlic, salt & pepper.
(Use a medium/low flame)
2) Add the beef broth, 2 cans of water, and the bottle of beer.
3) Bring to a slow boil and lower the flame.
Continue to cook the beef for one hour until the meat is very tender.
Add the tomatoes, carrots & potatoes
Simmer for another hour and it's ready!

Well, look on the internet somewhere. There are plenty of websites that have recipes on them. By the way, most sauces are not healthy.
