Ingredients

1 medium	onion, chopped
2 clove(s)	garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp	olive oil
6 large	tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
½ tsp	sugar
½ tsp	basil, dried – or 1˝-2 tsp fresh
60 ml	red wine
	salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

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.
