To make it 5 star you need to add 1/2 cup of home made Italian wine or chianti. A medium chopped onion, lose the tomato paste and sugar.  Add sliced mushrooms if you like and chop the garlic fine.  Saute the garlic, onion in the olive oil add TBS fresh chopped basil, TBS fresh chopped italian parsley and 1/4 tsp fresh chopped oregano, and mushrooms.  When the fragrance hits, add wine for a minute and finally the tomatoes.  Stir, cover and reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for 45 minutes to and hour.  Awesome.
