Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
Pour the canned crushed tomatoes into the skillet. Stir in the dried basil, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the marinara sauce. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
