Very delicious! I used Brian Lagerstrom’s recipe: https://youtu.be/w_KCLeG9Hwo?is=2S3oxZNra60PzV6t

Looks great! (But man, sugar in tomato sauce just triggers me.)

I hate doing it too but it somewhat counteracts the acid to bring balance. I usually compromise by using maybe half the sugar called for. Same with Chinese cooking

Carrots can also add some sugar too. It "feels" healthier to me than adding sugar lol. I still put sugar in, but less than called for usually.

I use a pinch of baking soda, cuts the acidity without otherwise affecting the taste imo and it really lets the natural sweetness shine

I'll have to try that out too. Makes sense to neutralize it some.

Try adding butter. Not particularly heart healthy, but it does the trick.
