Add all ingredients reserving 2 tablespoons of sugar for later to a large pot and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Simmer for 10 minutes and then taste. Since the acidity of the tomato sauce can vary, add a little bit of sugar to reach the desired flavor.
Serve over your favorite pasta or use it to make my mozzarella-stuffed meatballs!
Notes
1. Sugar is key to cutting the acidity of the tomato sauce. Since the acidity can vary by the type of tomato sauce used, you will need to adjust it according to your taste preferences.
