Grandpa's Pasta Sauce
The sauce was too much like spagetti sauce. I cooked the pork chops in the sauce for hours and it was tender, but the pork flavor was diminished; I would prefer to taste the pork more.

Directions
Combine all ingredients in a large covered pot.
Simmer over low heat for three hours for desired thickness.
If too thick, thin with a little water; if too thin, let the sauce cook uncovered over very low heat for 30 to 45 minutes longer.
Serve with favorite pasta cooked al dente, lots of grated parmesan cheese, italian bread and a good chiante.
