Recipe for marinara sauce from fresh roma tomatoes?

I grew 12 roma tomato plants this summer in hopes of making batches of fresh sauce from scratch.... no tomato sauce from a can for this guinzo!

So, does anyone have a good, simple recipe for homemade red sauce? By simple I dont mean "easy to make", I mean pureness of ingredients (fresh romas, fresh basil from the garden, fresh onions from the garden, etc)

Thanks!

    Fresh Tomato Marinara Sauce

    Ingredients

    30-35 roma tomatoes (sliced in half)

    1/2 cup water

    1/2 cup fresh oregano

    1 cup fresh basil (leaf lightly chopped i love a lot of basil. you may want to do a)

    1/2-1 cup sugar (taste i prefer it sweet)

    1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (flakes to taste)

    1/2 tsp black pepper (fresh ground black pepper to taste)

    1/4 tsp salt (taste)

    Directions

    Wash all ingredients very well. Start with tomatoes and water over low heat in medium pot. Slowly stir in each ingredient and continue cooking and stirring for about 1/2 hour to an hour (at least, the longer/the better). If you can, refrigerate and reheat. I don't know why, but it taste better.

    Great Additions: Artichoke Hearts, mushrooms, chopped onion, etc are just a few great additions you can add to this recipe! I have tried all of these just based on what I have in the kitchen at the time, and it always comes out great!

    Note: This recipe is so versatile. Serve over pasta, I prefer linguini), vegetables, or even toasted crostini bread with a bit of mozzeralla on top. It can also be served cold over sliced toasted Italian bread as a bruschetta -- mmm.

    2 large yellow onions, peeled and diced

    2 Tbsp olive oil

    5-6 cloves of garlic, minced (about 2 Tbsp)

    2 Tbsp dried herbs (basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, etc)*

    1/2 cup red wine

    12 cups peeled and seeded fresh ripe tomatoes**

    salt and pepper to taste

    In a large soup pot, heat up the olive oil. Add the onions and cook slowly, on medium heat until they start to caramelize. They should be evenly brown and soft. Cooking them this way brings out the natural sweetness in the onions. Add the garlic and dried herbs and cook for 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the 1/2 cup of red wine and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and their juice and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook on low, stirring occasionally for about 2 hours. Add salt and pepper to taste.
