Miss Nancy's Tomato Basil Sauce

This recipe comes from my Mother's friend, Miss Nancy. Tasty and a family favorite.

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onions (browned)
2 tsp. chopped garlic
3/4 c. red wine
4 cups canned Italian plum tomatoes
1 Tbsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
16 fresh basil leaves, chopped
8 sprigs Italian parsley, chopped
2 bay leaves
8 oz. sliced mushrooms (optional)
Ground round or chicken (optional)

Simmer all ingredients for one hour or longer. Serve over spaghetti noodles. Great with french bread and salad. My mom doubles the recipe!
