Arrabiata Sauce (The Angry Sauce)

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/8 cup red wine
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (14.5 ounce) cans peeled and diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Italian sausage (optional)
Sliced mushrooms

DIRECTIONS
Heat oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in oil for 5 minutes.

Stir in wine, sugar, basil, red pepper, tomato paste, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, black pepper, tomatoes, sausage, mushrooms and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered about 15 minutes.

Stir in parsley. Ladle over the hot cooked pasta of your choice.

This is truly fast food and tastes just as good as leftovers as it does when first made. When we've made it, we usually get the diced tomatoes with peppers added for that extra kick, but for those that want it a little less spicy, get the regular tomatoes. Also an excellent meal for clearing the sinuses if you're sick:)
