Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup minced white onion
- 2 cloves garlic pressed through a garlic press
- 2 tablespoons minced sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1½ teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons white wine like Sauvignon Blanc
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar optional
- 1 cup water
- kosher salt to taste

- Add in the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds.
