Cook onions in oil until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes,
salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Add sugar. Simmer over low heat for 1
hour, stirring a few times and adding very little water if needed. Add
oregano and basil off the heat. I also remembered that it is the seeds that

For the tomatoes not to be too acid or bitter you should cook them long.
Also try adding a pinch of sugar to your sauce.
