Try this, I think you'll agree it's the best ever made by anyone.
Ingredients:
2 28-ounce cans of crushed tomatos
the-dip-of-your-palm full of crushed red pepper flakes
4 cloves of garlic, minced (more if you like a lot of garlic)
1/2 large white onion, diced (more if you like onion flavor a lot)
2 bay leaves
1 small can of tomato paste
2 lbs ground beef, pork, or turkey (I use beef mainly but I've used turkey and it's good too)
a little olive oil
salt & pepper
Brown the meat until it isn't pink anymore and drain it. Set it aside.
Heat 2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot to medium heat. Throw in the pepper flakes and saute them for 15-20 seconds. Throw in the onion and saute until golden brown (15 minutes or so.) Put in the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Put in the whole can of tomato paste and stir constantly for 1 minute. Then add all the crushed tomatos, bay leaves, browned meat, and salt & pepper to taste. Let that simmer at least an hour, preferably 2-3 hours uncovered. Watch out for splatters as tomato sauce will get on your white shirt and piss you off.
After simmering for a while, use this sauce on lasagna, spaghetti, ziti, pizza, or anything that can stand up to a heavy red sauce. Freeze leftovers and use it whenever you want it later.
