Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add in diced onion, a pinch of kosher salt and sauté until soft and translucent. About 5 to 8 minutes.
Then add in the dried oregano, basil, tomato paste and minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes to caramelize and cook the garlic before pouring in the white wine. Simmer for 2 to 4 minutes until reduced.
Add in the crushed tomatoes, a pinch of sugar and 1/2 a can (about 3/4 cup) water. Stir and simmer, uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes. Taste and season with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste.
