Preheat a skillet to medium heat with a drizzle of oil, the onion, and crushed red pepper. Cook for 3 minutes until the onions are slightly softened, then add the garlic and a sprinkle of salt. Cook for 2 minutes more, then add the tomatoes and sugar. Stir, and simmer for 15 minutes until fragrant and the flavors have combined. Taste, and add more salt or sugar if needed. If the sauce becomes very thick, add some water to thin it. Store in the freezer or fridge, and use as desired.
