Spaghetti Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (28 ounce) can whole Italian tomatoes (I use San Marzano)
    2 (28 ounce) cans tomato puree (I use Contadina)
    1 medium onion
    3 -4 garlic cloves
    1 tablespoon dried basil
    1 tablespoon dried oregano
    2 bay leaves
    1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (or to taste)
    1/2 cup white wine (optional) or 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
    1 beef bouillon cube (optional)
    salt
Preparation
    Puree whole tomatoes in blender with onion and garlic.
    Cook all cans of tomatoes in a large heavy pot, adding all other ingredients, except salt.
    Bring to a boil and then lower temperature to simmer for 2 or 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
    When it starts to thicken and turn less 'pink', add salt to taste.
    For the Vegetarian option omit the beef bouillon.
