Put a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour in the olive oil, then add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic, crushed red chili pepper, oregano and black pepper. Cook 1-2 minutes, just until the garlic releases its fragrance. Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, salt and sugar.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook 15 minutes. If the sauce doesn't seem thick, simmer uncovered 5-10 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your taste
Serve with hot, cooked pasta and plenty of grated pecorino Romano cheese.
