Clemenza's "Godfather" Spaghetti Sauce

"Hey Mikey, why don't you tell that nice girl you love her?  

♫ I love you with all my heart.  If I don't see you again soon, I'm gonna die. 🎝

Come over here kid. Learn something. You never know you might have to cook for 20 guys some day. 

You see, you start out with some oil and you fry some garlic. Then you throw in some tomatoes. You get it to a boil and you shove in all your sausage and your meatballs. Add a little bit of wine and a little bit of sugar. And that's my trick."
