Basic spaghetti sauce recipe.
3 tbsp Oil (vegetable or olive)
1 large white diced onion
3 sticks of diced celery
1 diced red pepper
1 diced green pepper
3 crushed garlic cloves
2 cans (28oz.) diced tomatoes
2 cans (28oz.) water
1 can (48 oz) tomato juice

Preparation:
In a large skillet, add oil, diced onions, diced celery, diced peppers and crushed garlic and let it slightly brown.

Bring to a boil then bring the heat down to a mild simmer so the sauce won't stick to the pan.
