Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well to combine.
Add the sugar, dried basil, dried oregano, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
