Well actually good spaghetti sauce, as it is made in Italy, is easy and very quick to make.
I take a large skillet and throw some canned or fresh chopped ripe tomatoes in it with some pressed garlic, a few red pepper flakes and saute quickly over med high heat. I add just a dash of Balsalmic vinegar ( for sweet and depth)and some dry red wine, throw in some either fresh (preferably) or dried oregano, basil and whatever else suits your taste, simmer for just a few minutes. Then add the pasta and a little of the pasta water for thickening.
Stir up the pasta with the sauce over med heat for a couple of minutes and you are done.
I spent a summer living in a friends Villa in Tuscany and this is the way his cook made it every time and it was the best and freshest tasting pasta one could wish for.
