Fastest: Add sugar.

Next fastest: Add beef boullion.

Not so fast: Dice and caramelize two onions and add to the sauce.

Alternative: Do all three, but start with sugar first.

That just means it tastes of tomatoes. Not really a problem.

But if you prefer to add some sweetness, chop up some carrots and onions really small, cook them in a little oil until they are lightly browned (but not burned), and add them to the sauce.

Yeah, but sugar doesn't add anything but sweetness, which overdone can be really nasty. Earlier suggestions of carrot and onion work well. I also would add roasted garlic to that list

So. How did it turn out? What did you do?

The suspense is killing us.
