This simple tomato sauce gets some added kick from the addition of dried chili. Feel free to increase the amount if you can handle the heat.

Place the olive oil in a large, hot sauté pan over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion, garlic and chili and sauté the mixture for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, basil and a few pinches of salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes and then serve over pasta.
