2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tsp. salt

1 cup marinara sauce

Put a big pot of water up for a boil. When boiling, add salt and pasta.

While pasta is cooking, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Add sliced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir constantly.
Add olives, tomato and capers and cook for 3 minutes.
Add sugar, salt and white wine. Cook, until liquid evaporates.
Add marinara sauce. Heat through. Take off heat.
