Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the tomato paste, water, sugar, oregano, basil, parmesan cheese, and red wine.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using.
Allowing the sauce to cool slightly enhances its flavor.
