Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sugar
3 medium onions, chopped (3 to 4)
1/2 cup dry red wine
6 garlic cloves, crushed with the blade of a knife
2 (28 oz) cans crushed tomatoes
2 (6 oz) cans tomato paste
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp marjoram
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
salt and pepper
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

Heat oil in a Dutch Oven over medium heat. Add chopped onions and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sauté onions for 30-45 minutes, or until sweet and caramelized.
As the pan dries while onions are cooking, add red wine as needed. Once onions are done, continue to add the rest of the ingredients.
Stir until well-combined. Simmer over low heat for 4-6 hours (you can simmer for less, but I would simmer for at least 1-2 hours). Stir often to keep the sauce from burning or getting overcooked.
Makes about 9 cups of sauce.
