Everyone has a different taste in that kind of stuff. When I was in College, I worked part time in a place where one of the bosses was as Italian as one could get. His parents immigrated from Sicily. He gave me his family recipe for his sauce direct from his family. This came with instructions that would rival that of disarming a bomb. It had everything in it... Pork Chops, Italian Sausage, Homemade Meat Balls (recipe for that also) peppers, onions, garlic, Oregano, etc. The instructions said to use only authentic Italy grown (canned) tomatoes, and tomato past even to what local store to buy the ingredients from. It had to simmer on the stove for 8 hours so I made large batches at a time and froze a lot of it. The flavor was great, but, really not worth massive effort it took to make it.
It doesn't really matter anymore because I lost the recipe in the divorce. Not out of spite but no one really thought about it at the time. When she became unable to cook for herself, she gave the recipe box to our oldest daughter. However, apparently sometime between our split up and the recipe box acquisition, it was deported or something, as it was never found. I never really even thought about it until a couple years ago when I had plenty of time to make it again by then it was just something that used to be.
