I always make my own pasta sauce, but I never measure anything.
Mine goes something like this:
in a medium sauce pan heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom
add about 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp (or to taste, I've been known to go heavy on the garlic) of minced garlic and let brown (not burn!)
add a chopped medium onion and cook until the onion becomes translucent
season with kosher salt, fresh pepper, basil, parsley, and paprika
add 1 can of chopped tomatoes with the juice and 1 can of tomato paste (the small one)
add about 1/2 to 1 cup of red wine (read: as much vino as ya like)
add about 1/4 cup of white or brown sugar (brown adds a bit of a twang, but it's nice)
cook down for about 20-30 minutes stirring every now and then.
You could add meatballs, or not. Put it on your pasta, get a good crusty french bread and toast then rub it down with roasted garlic and butter and enjoy.
