Steps

1

In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir.
2

Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened.
3

Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water. (I usually add the garlic a couple minutes after adding onions, but several minutes before adding sauce, but you have to be careful not to let the garlic burn.)
4

Add basil, parsley, bay leaves, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
5

Stir well and barely bring to a boil.
6

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!
7

Cook spaghetti noodles to package directions.
8

Spoon sauce over drained spaghetti noodles and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
9

The left-over spaghetti sauce freezes well to use with lasagna. http://www.food.com/recipe/jo-mamas-world-famous-spaghetti-22782
