2

(35 ounce) cans whole canned tomatoes (drain off all liquid)
2

(8 ounce) cans tomato paste
1

onion, chopped
5

garlic cloves, minced
2

tablespoons olive oil
²⁄₃

cup red wine
3 -4

tablespoons italian seasoning (I prefer to add basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, etc. separately, but this is a good simple mixture)
2

dried chilies, crushed
¹⁄₂

teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1

tablespoon sugar (optional)
salt, to taste

DIRECTIONS

Saute onions and garlic in oil over medium heat till onions are transparent.
Add wine and let it reduce a bit.
Add everything else and simmer uncovered. Minimum simmering time is 1 hour but I like to let it go for as many as 8.
NOTE:.
This should make about 1/2 gallon of sauce, but it will keep for some time (about 2 weeks in the refrigerator or may be frozen.
Play around with the seasonings, the thing to remember is that a good pizza sauce by itself is quite spicy because it will be subdued by the other ingredients later.
