Sweet Sweet Tomato Tuna Sauce

Best Sauce Ever

This is the best sauce I have ever made!  I just added a few extra ingredients to my usual pasta sauce and I was really impressed by how much better it tasted.  Adding just a little sugar to tinned tomatoes can release an added sweetness. I also added some extra herbs.  I love it when I learn soemthing new. :) Go Saffy!
