This is a freeform recipe, I make approximately the same thing every time.

First, you are going to either finely chop or use the food processor for the following vegetables:

Celery
Carrots
Onion

In a deep sauce pan, pour a little olive oil, put the vegetables in and add 3 or 4 pressed garlic cloves

Then add at least 2 cans of tomato sauce and any 2 cans of any other tomato products you have. Sometimes I have canned mexican tomatoes, other times I have plain canned tomatoes or italian tomatoes.

Then add a lot of Italian seasoning.

Stir, it should be really thick.

Add a quart of water, and some bay leaves, stir and cook the heck out of it. Add seasoning as needed when you begin to get to the end of the cooking time.

I cook mine basically all day, it can be done in just a half hour, but the flavor is better if you cook it all day. If you are doing the fast version, put in much less water so it will be nice and thick.
