Coat generously with nonstick cooking spray. Add the chopped onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned (about 5 minutes). Set pan aside. Add the tomatoes, basil, oregano, tomato paste, olive oil, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper to the blender. Process just until blended (there should still be small lumps from the tomatoes).
