- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste to the saucepan, stirring well to combine.

Season the mixture with sea salt, black pepper, and sugar.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the pan partially and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a small amount of water to reach the desired consistency.
