Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Soften the onion for about 5 minutes until translucent, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
2. Add the crushed tomatoes, bay leaf, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce over low heat, partly covered, for about 20 minutes, stirring now and then, until thickened.
3. Meanwhile, bring a large pan of well-salted water to the boil.
4. Cook the sorrentinos at a gentle boil so they don't split, for 8–10 minutes or as the packet says, until the pasta is tender. Lift them out with a slotted spoon.
5. Remove the bay leaf. Serve the sorrentinos topped with the sauce and sprinkled with the grated cheese.
