Ingredients

1 medium	onion, chopped
2 clove(s)	garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp	olive oil
6 large	tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
¹/₂ tsp	sugar
¹/₂ tsp	basil, dried - or 1½-2 tsp fresh
60 ml	red wine

Method

Preparation time: ca. 15 min / Grade of difficulty: easy / Calories per portion: n/a

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil on a medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the tomatoes and cook for about 3 minutes, followed by remaining ingredients. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for another 15-20 minutes, when the tomatoes should have lost shape and texture. If not, allow another 5 minutes and add a little more wine if it appears to be drying out.

Serve with hot, freshly cooked pasta - preferably fettuccine or tagliatelle - and top with fresh Parmesan or Pecorino.
