Drain the grease well and add the red wine, deglazing the pan by scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. | 5. Add the whole tomatoes and break them up a little with your spoon or spatula. If you want them very small, cut them against the side of the can with a sharp knife. | 6. Add brown sugar, tomato sauce and paste, parsley, basil, oregano and thyme(or Italian seasoning) bay leaf, pepper flakes, cinnamon, salt and pepper. | 7. Simmer until all the veggies are very tender and everything is cooked to your satisfaction. This could be all day or just about 30 minutes. Taste the sauce and add any additional seasoning to your taste. | 8. When just about ready to serve turn the heat up to about medium to get it really warm. Add the vinegar and parmesan and cook 10 min more. | 9. Serve over any pasta with extra parmesan if desired. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
