To level-up this recipe, here are some optional steps. - Run the canned tomatoes through a food mill to remove all the seeds. This will result in sweeter sauce since the seeds will add bitterness. The sauce will also be much smoother in texture since there will be no chunks of tomato in the sauce. - If you don't have a food mill, you can still get the smoothness by blending the tomatoes in a blender prior to adding to the pan.
