Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 large clove garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled

1 teaspoon sugar

Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil for 5 minutes.

Season with salt, pepper and oregano.

Add chopped tomatoes and their juice. Season with salt, pepper and oregano.
