Step 1
Heat up olive oil in a large saucepan on medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, add onions and sauté until they start to look translucent. Add the chopped garlic and continue sautéing for another 3 minutes but don't let the garlic burn.
Step 3
Add the tomatoes (with liquid), wine, sugar, basil, carrot, oregano, salt and pepper. Break up the tomatoes inside the pot with a wooden spoon and stir well.

Bring the mixture up to a slow boil and lower to simmer covered for 2 hours. Mix occasionally but be careful with splatters from the hot tomato mixture while stirring.

Sample and adjust salt and ground pepper to taste.

Step 7
Your sauce is now ready for your pasta or other favorite dish.
