INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for cooking pasta
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed

- 2 tablespoons tomato puree
- 1 teaspoon sugar

- A handful of torn basil leaves
- 250 g (8 oz) dried tagliatelle
- 25 g (1 oz) grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
1 Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the onions and garlic, and saute gently over low heat until they are tender and slightly coloured. Stir the mixture occasionally.
2 Add the tomatoes and tomato puree together with the sugar and wine, stirring well. Cook over gentle heat until the mixture is quite thick and reduced. Stir in the olives and basil leaves and season to taste with salt and plenty of pepper.
3 Meanwhile, add the tagliatelle to a large pan ol boiling salted water (to which a little oil has been added to prevent the pasta sticking) Boil rapidly until the tagliatelle is al dente.
