Ingredients:  
2 lb Italian sausage, casings removed (mild or hot)
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
28 oz can diced tomatoes
6 oz cans tomato paste
15 oz cans tomato sauce
2 cup water, (for a long period of simmering for flavors to meld. If you don't want to simmer it as long, add less)
3 tsp basil
2 tsp dried parsley, flakes
1 1⁄2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1⁄4 tsp (up 1/2) crushed red pepper flakes
1⁄4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground coarse

Directions:
In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir.
Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened.

Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
Stir well and barely bring to a boil.
Stir in red wine.
Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!
