Small pinch of crushed red pepper

Turn pot on medium add Extra Virgin Olive Oil and onion and garlic.
Stir occsionally
When onions turned translucent add the rest of the ingredients then seasonsing to taste.  Let simmer for at least 15 mins.  If sauce is too thick, simply add some chicken stock.

Seasonings to add:
Salt
Black Pepper
Oregano
Basil

Tips:  You can always add more seasonings, but you cant really take them out, so start small and keep tasting until you like it!!

FUN ADD-
Dice up some peppers... red yellow green... taste the rainbow, they all taste great in this recipe!  Add them in after the onion and garlic start to soften, but give the peppers a few extra mins to get happy and soft before adding the rest of the ingredients!
