Onion - 1 head
Garlic - 2 cloves
Canned tomatoes - 12.3 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds.

Step 2

Pour in the tomatoes along with their juice and add a pinch of sugar. Slightly increase the heat and continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring and pressing the tomatoes with a spoon until they turn into a thick sauce. Add the beans, herbs, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions.

Step 4

When the pasta is almost ready, check the sauce – it should not be too thick. If necessary, add ¼ cup of pasta water and stir. Drain the pasta, mix it with the sauce, and serve with grated cheese.
