I just do a very simple pasta sauce using:

One tin of chopped toms
One tin of Plum Toms
One Table Spoon of Tom Puree
One Red Onion (Finely chopped)
2 Cloves of Garlic (Pressed) or Garlic Powder
A few drops of Worcestershire Sauce or Tobasco
Basil, Parsley, Paprika, Chilli Powder (All to suit)
Pancetta, Salami, Pepperoni
Any pasta although I just use spaghetti.

Sweat your onions in some butter until nice and soft. Mix in toms, garlic, herbs, spices to your sweated onions. Bring to the boil then simmer. Add the meat and heat for 5 minutes. In the meantime, cook your pasta to taste.
Season tomato sauce to taste with Salt, Pepper and Worcestershire Sauce/Tobasco.

By the way, this is the same sauce I make for my spag bol and lasagne. I just add Mince Meat and some veg. I put enough veg in it that I actually call it my 5 a-day spag bol.

My OH's favourite creamy chicken, bacon & mushroom pasta. I don't follow any real quantities.

Chopped onion, garlic and bacon fried (with a light spray of oil), chicken thighs chopped & added, mushrooms sliced & added to pan. Turn heat to low & add light evaporated milk and a little wholegrain mustard. I also add a little cornflower mixed with a little bit of water and add gradually to simmering pan to thicken to my liking. This is all going on whilst I have pasta of choice boiling in another pot.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Drain pasta and add to sauce mix.
Sometimes I add a little chopped parsley or chives (depending on mood).
Serve topped with fresh parmesan cheese (grated or shaved).
