Sure, no one says you can't use different tomatoes

I made a simple sauce the other night, but with caned diced tomatoes. Here's the basics:

Big stock pot
2 tablespoons olive oil
small onion chopped into small pieces
couple of garlic cloves minced
2 cans tomato paste
Crushed tomatos
Basil

I also added some mushrooms. The sauce I made was a bit too thick, so I added a bit of beef broth. If I had red win I would have added that.

I heated up the olive oil and put in the onions and garlic. Let that cook until it was golden. Then I added the mushrooms. Cooked them up until they were nice and soft. Next I added tomato paste and crushed tomatos and a bit of chopped up fresh basil. Once I realized that the sauce was really thick, I added the beef broth. I let that simmer for about a half an hour, stirring occassionally. It was a good sauce, but it needs improvement.
