2 pounds sausage

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 large yellow onions, diced

2 green bell peppers, seeded and diced

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup white wine or stock (your choice)

Two 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes

One 24-ounce jar good store-bought marinara sauce (you can use another jar if you like the sauce to be more saucy than meaty)

One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes

One 6-ounce can tomato paste

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground oregano

1 teaspoon ground thyme

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional
