Made over 1lb (enough for a lasagne dish I was trying to create), using canned chopped tomatoes and a small can of paste (or puree as we call it in England..lol..). I couldn't help myself, I just had to add a teaspoon of chilli powder to the mix which certainly gave the lasagne a little bit of 'bite'. Still used around 4 fl oz of good Italian wine though - and I must confess that considerably more ended-up inside me.... :-) Will definitely make 2 maybe 3lbs next time, use some and freeze the rest.... Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

Also, rather than white sugar, try brown sugar. I have also tossed in 1 whole large carrot (peeled). Good ideas, glad to use them. To reduce the acid in my sauce, I use 1/4 tsp baking soda.
