The best spaghetti sauce is made with tomato juice!
2/3 of a large can of Campbell's tomato juice
1 can (14.5 oz) tomato sauce
1/2 a small can of tomato paste
splash of dry red wine ( I prefer merlot or burgandy)
fresh garlic..(3 to 4 cloves, minced)
Basil, Oregano, salt and pepper (to taste)
Simmer 1 hour. Then thicken. (mix 3 tblsp flour with 3 tblsp cold water in a bowl). Mix till smooth. Slowly add to sauce..till you get the thickness you like.
If you thicken it too much...just add some more of the tomato juice.
Enjoy!

IM not a chef, but i find the best way to make the meat sauce is to just brown the mince. Then u add garlic or other herbs to flavour the meat instead of having the plain beef taste. Also once you have cooked the herbs etc through put some diced fresh tomato in with it, and then use the pasta sauce. By putting more herbs in you get a really nice flavor thats not overdone.
However you can do the same with a vegetarian replacement mince called TVP its a soybean product thats actually quite yummy. Its in a bag on the shelf in health food stores and some supermarkets.

I think this is the one you are looking for....
Spaghetti With Olives and Tomato (Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca)
A famous Italian painter often improvised dinner parties for his friends in his small rustic house on the picturesque Ischia Island, outside Naples. Fresh and light local wine was offered together with this dish of spaghetti. It's also been dubbed that the Ladies of the Evening would prepare in between clients.
4-6 servings
30 min prep
INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (add for more heat)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste (1/2 tsp = 1 anchovy fillet)
1 1/2 cups tomatoes, diced (or 14 oz can)
1 tablespoon capers, lightly washed and drained
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup black olives (or Greek olives)
salt
1 lb spaghetti
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
DIRECTIONS
In a pan put olive oil, red pepper, and garlic and sauté briefly.
Add anchovy paste to the pan before the garlic starts coloring.
Stir quickly with a wooden spoon for few seconds to dissolve the anchovy paste. (Avoid burning both garlic & paste) Eventually remove the pan from the stove if you feel the temperature of the oil is too high.
Add tomatoes, capers, 1 tablespoon parsley, olives, and cook for about 10 - 15 minutes.
Cook pasta following manufacturer's instructions, drain, and pour in a salad bowl. Dress with the sauce and top with the rest of the chopped parsley.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese if preferred.

Cook your noodles.
Cook your sauce.
Mix the two together well.
Put in a air tight container.
Put in the refrigerator overnight.
Take out of the refrigerator.
Get out your frying pan. (that is correct! frying pan!)
Put a healthy two or three pats of real butter in the pan.
Just bring the butter up to melting. Don't let it burn.
Put the spaghetti/sauce mix in.
Bring the mix up to serving temperature.
Serve and pig out!!!!!
It really makes a difference.

make your own sauce, that is the key!! Take regular tomato sauce and add a little bit (like a spoonful or two) of BROWN sugar, as well as any other spices like oregeno, onion powder and garlic salt, and it will be magnefic!!!
