Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Add the crushed tomatoes, water or vegetable stock, and stir to combine.
Mix in the marinated artichoke hearts, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and sugar.
Simmer the sauce on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
