- ½ teaspoons of salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar

Notes
- Adjust the sweetness: Just a little sugar balances the tomato acidity and makes it taste similar to the canned version – but the type you use and how much are entirely adjustable.
- For a thinner sauce: Optionally add some of the pasta cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- For the best sauce: Simmer it for 10-15 minutes before adding the pasta. This isn’t necessary, but it helps bring everything together for a deeper, more complex flavor.
- For a ‘plain’ version: If you don’t want 'cheesiness', omit the nutritional yeast.
