Heat the remaining oil in a saucepan.
Add the sliced onion and the crushed garlic and stir until soft and golden.
Add the tomatoes into the pan with the onion and garlic.
Add the sugar, salt and pepper to the mix.
Cook the tomatoes until soft. Normally about 20 - 30 minutes.

When cooked, place them in a dish and cover with the tomato sauce.
Add the mozzarella and place under a preheated grill until the cheese has melted.
