Sauté chopped onions and finely chopped garlic in oil. Add tomato paste and peeled tomatoes. Add spices and white wine and stir to combine. Simmer gently for about 30 minutes, longer is better. Strain if necessary, and be sure to discard the bay leaves and lemon zest. Add a generous amount of the tomato sauce to the pasta of your choice. Top with generously grated Parmesan cheese, a green salad, and a glass of white wine.
