1. Heat oil in pan; cook onion and garlic over low eat; stirring until onion is soft. Add beef; cook until brown. Stir in un-drained crushed tomatoes, water, wine, paste, stock cubes, herbs and sugar. Bring to boil; simmer uncovered stirring occasionally for around 2 hours or until sauce is thickened. (My batch only took 1 hour 30mins)

2. Serve with pasta or spaghetti and sprinkle parmesan cheese as desired.
