This is absolutely lush, and well worth the time it takes!
2 tsp cooking oil
1 large onion
3-4 cloves garlic
1 tin tomatoes (ideally tinned cherry tomatoes, if you can get them)
1/2 tub soft cheese, ideally garlic and herb
Seasoning to taste - I find it doesn't need salt, just pepper.
Place the oil in a heavy-based saucepan and heat gently. Peel the onion, and chop it as finely as you are able. Put the chopped onion into the saucepan and stir well to coat. 
Let them cook gently to soften and go translucent. Meanwhile peel the garlic, and either chop, crush or grate it - I always use a crusher, but I know other people have other ways. Add this to the onion and oil, and again, allow to cook gently for a few minutes. Now add the tinned tomatoes and about 1/3 tin of water. Stir thoroughly and bring to a simmer. Cover, and let it simmer for about 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Then add the half-tub of cream cheese and stir thoroughly to mix. Delicious with pasta, either as is, or as a pasta bake. I also made a roast vegetable bake with it earlier in the week, which was lush!
