+ Simmer for as long as you want - it doesn't have to be very
long, but apparently it becomes better if you simmer it for
a longer period of time.
+ Take out bay leaves and purée the rest with a stick blender
so you get a nice sauce.

+ Optionally add cream. I find that it tastes better with cream,
but you may have a different opinion. The image at the top is
with cream.
+ Notes
* I guess this could also be in the section "Sauces", but I
consider it to be a main meal, so it's here.
* Serve with whatever you want, but preferably not spaghetti
because that is evil.
