Ingredients:
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Three 15-ounce cans of crushed tomatoes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Pinch of sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions:
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onions, stirring frequently. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until the onions become soft.
- Pour in the chicken broth and whisk to deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits from the bottom. Allow it to cook until the broth reduces by half.
