Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over a medium heat in a saucepan.

Transfer to a bowl once its cooked and set aside.

Using the same pan, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and heat.

Add the garlic and cook for a further 1-2 minutes.

Next add the tomatoes and stir well. Add the herbs, spices and sugar.

Pour in the stock and then reduce heat.

Check seasoning is to your taste before turning the heat off.

Simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Set aside when cooked.

When its time to cook the pasta. Heat a saucepan filled with water, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Cook pasta as the instructions say. After boiling point it normally takes 12-15 minutes to cook pasta.

Drain the pasta when cooked.

On each plate pour sauce over pasta then sprinkle with some cheese. (I used parmigiano cheese)
