WORLD'S GREATEST SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large (at least 4.5 quart) pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, onion and parsley and cook until the onion is translucent and beef is browned. While the beef is cooking open all the cans of tomato products. Once the beef is done, add the garlic and cook for about a minute or so...don't let it get to the point of getting brown (if you see it just turning brown that's as far as you want to go). Add all the tomato products and Chianti and stir until smooth. Lower the heat to medium. Add the basil, oregano, bay leaves, carrot, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, red pepper and sugar. Once the sauce begins to bubble, lower the heat to medium-low so that it just barely bubbles. Cook over medium-low to low heat for a couple of hours (stir often) so some of the liquid cooks off. Don't cover the pot, but use a splash screen to keep the mess down if you like.
