Preheat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade. Then prepare the tomato sauce by frying off the onion and garlic in 1 tbsp olive oil until soft. Add the plum tomatoes (break up with a spoon) and rinse the can with water and tip into the pan. Add the tomato purée, herbs and sugar and cook for 10 - 15 minutes. Season to taste.
