MARINARA SAUCE TO SERVE 4

"Heat the oil in a heavy pan and in it cook the chopped onion and crushed garlic until golden colour; add tomatoes, cut small, together with sugar and pepper and salt. Lower heat and allow to cook gently for 20 minutes. While this is cooking, peel shrimps, and add them together with the wine to the tomato mixture, cooking gently together for 15 minutes. A little chopped fresh basil may be added 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time, or failing this, chopped parsley. Serve hot over pasta of any type."
