Default spagetti sauce

My kitchen smells awesome! I'm betting the neighbors can smell it.

Put about 1/4C olive oil in the bottom of a large pot
Saute about 5 cloves minced garlic
Add a large chopped onion and saute
Add about 1lb crimini mushrooms and saute
Puree up 4 cans roma tomatoes and toss them in
(Note: Am Test Kit says ok to use canned, the less processed the better. Silly me, I dumped them in whole, tried squishing them as they cooked, ended up panning for gold as I pulled them out to puree. I've always used fresh in the past)
Add small can tomato paste
"Nickle" size of fennel
"Lg Marble" of salt
"Lg Marble" of sugar
about 2 lg tbsp oregano
3-4 bay leaves
about 1/2 C leftover Malbec from last night
Tilt the lid on the pan so it doesn't mess up the stove but lets steam escape
Simmer while the cart fixer is here and while waiting for bug guys to give new bids
Stir while enjoying the fresh air.
Fresh basil and grated cheese to come at the end.
Get a new bottle of wine handy. Might need more in the sauce!
