Hearty Pasta Sauce

Don't you just love spaghetti? I love it, especially with a good sauce. And this sauce is great! I used kalamata olives...which I love but IT Guy's not necessarily a fan. So good ole black olives will also work in this. I allowed this sauce to simmer for a good hour and when I removed the lid it was thick and rich and delicious.
