Steps:
- Mix together the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, 1 cup of red wine, green olives, 4 teaspoons of sea salt, basil, oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a slow cooker. Set the cooker to Low.
- While the cooker is warming up, place 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook 3/4 cup of sweet onion until the onion just begins to soften, about 2 minutes; stir in 1 clove of garlic. Cook the mixture for 3 more minutes before mixing in parsley and mushrooms. Reduce heat, and simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, and mix to dissolve.
- While the parsley and mushrooms are simmering, heat 3 more tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in the remaining onion and the sausage. Brown the sausage, breaking the meat up into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes; season the mixture with white pepper and cumin. Pour 1 cup of red into the skillet, and scrape the pan with a wooden spoon to dissolve any brown flavor bits into the wine. Simmer for about 10 minutes; pour the sausage mixture into the skillet with the parsley and mushrooms. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat just until all the ingredients have had time to introduce themselves to each other, about 10 minutes. Pour the sausage mixture into the slow cooker.
- Cook on Low for 8 hours to overnight. Add more red wine or water if needed to prevent the sauce from getting too thick and burning on the bottom.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and choose a good quality canned tomato sauce.
- Brown the meat: Browning the meat before adding it to the sauce helps to develop flavor. If you're using ground beef, be sure to break it up into small pieces so that it cooks evenly.
- Simmer the sauce for a long time: The longer you simmer the sauce, the more flavorful it will be. Aim to simmer the sauce for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have time.
- Add a splash of red wine: Red wine adds a rich, complex flavor to spaghetti sauce. If you're not a fan of wine, you can use beef broth or water instead.
- Season the sauce to taste: Taste the sauce as it simmers and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other spices.
- Serve the sauce with your favorite pasta: Spaghetti sauce can be served with a variety of pastas, such as spaghetti, penne, or macaroni. You can also use the sauce to make lasagna or other Italian dishes.
