Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cans crushed tomatoes

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

2 teaspoons dried oregano

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons sugar

Directions

Combine the olive oil and garlic in a large deep saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring or swirling occasionally, until the garlic is deeply colored—striations of deep brown running through the golden cloves—and fragrant. If the garlic starts to smell acrid or sharp or is taking on color quickly, pull the pan off the stove and reduce the heat.
