1 large mason jar of homemade crushed, plum, tomatoes (uncooked) or 2, 28-ounce cans of crushed tomatoes. If the price doesn't blow your budget, opt for canned San Marzano tomatoes from Italy. This is the standard!

1 large red onion finely diced

1/2 cup red wine

1 head roasted garlic (prepared above)

2-3 tablespoons of olive oil

1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 teaspoon of sugar (Do not use if you're using amazing tomatoes. Also, never refrigerate your tomatoes.)

1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano (Wrap your herbs with a moist towel around the roots or base to preserve in the fridge.)

2 teaspoon Sea Salt
