Answer:
MAKE SURE YOU ARENT BURNING YOUR GARLIC. That will make a great sauce bitter quick. Add a couple of tablespoons of sugar 30 minutes before serving. that neutralizes some of the acidity, without overcooking the sucrose in the sugar to break down the consistency of the sauce.

make sure you brown your onions first- this "sweetens them. Then, guess what, you actually add a spoon of sugar!
please list what you have in it and how you are cooking it...
You could try some tomato paste in your sauce. Or use puree tomatoes or crushed tomatoes that have been drained.
All the answers so far will work fine. I want to add that using paste to thicken the sauce will make it more bitter, so more sugar would probably be needed. If you want to put in the effort to make a roux from about 1 tablespoon of flour and butter to add to the sauce that will thicken it as well.
diced tomatoes
tomato paste
garlic roasted and added
carrot puree
onion
garlic powder
parsley
basil
pepper
salt
add ur peppers and onions in with it if u want to
a teaspoon of sugar takes care of the tomato bitterness, basil, oregano and bay leaves, are a great ingredients on any pasta sauce
cook it very slow and low - the heat caramelizes the existing sugars in the tomatoes - if the temperature gets too high for too long the sugars will burn and taste bitter. keep the ingredients simple and fresh - olive oil, onions, garlic, plum tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh oregano - you shouldn't need any sugar.
add a little sugar...
Pasta Sauce is supposed to cook slowly for a very long time to get the bitterness out maybe 3-4 hours on low..You can also add a teaspoon of sugar the the pot when its cooking to make it a bit sweeter..If you put meat into the sauce it also gives it a better flavor...Izaak
Penne with Peppers and Sausage
Ingredients
(6 servings)
1 lb Sausage, Italian, in 2" lengths
2 Onions, purple, in 1 inch pieces
5 Garlic cloves, crushed
2 Peppers, bell, red, in 1" cubes
2 Peppers, bell, yellow, in 1" cubes
16 oz Tomatoes, Italian, plum
3/4 c Wine, red, dry, robust
1 ts Worcestershire
2 Bay leaves, imported
1/2 ts Basil, dried, leaves
1/2 ts Thyme, dried, leaves
1/2 ts Oregano, dried, leaves
1/2 ts Sage, dried, rubbed
1/4 ts Chile, dried, hot, red, flakes
1/4 ts Pepper, black, freshly ground
3 tb Parsley, chopped
1 lb Penne
Instructions
Heat a skillet over moderate heat, add sausage and cook until browned. Remove sausage and drain on paper toweling. Discard all but 1 tablespoons of fat. Add onion to fat in skillet and cook slowly until soft but not browned. Add garlic and cook a minute or two more. Add red and yellow bell peppers and toss to coat with oil. Add tomatoes, wine, Worcestershire and seasonings. Cook at a simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, adding sausage pieces toward the end of that period. Uncover and cook over high heat to reduce to desired consistency. In the meantime, cook penne until al dente in ample boiling salted water. Drain pasta and toss in a heated bowl with a tablespoon or so of good olive oil. Serve pasta in heated bowls with sauce and a sprinkling of parsley.
All the answers are right on track, although, never slow cook an Italian Sauce { Gravy! } in an aluminum pot! The acid in the tomato and the aluminum don't mix well creating a bitter taste.
for any and every sweet tomato sauce foods i make my secret is i add a little heinz ketchup, some people add a little molasses try what works best for u
Make sure you simmer it slowly. I set mine on the lowest setting and stir very 15 minutes for at least about 3 hours.
I keep frozen pesto cubes around. You might want to try that to add some basil-ly sweetness.
One thing you might not know is that you have to counter the acid in the tomatoes. Add a couple tablespoons of wine and a pinch of baking soda. It wil foam up so you'll know its working. It makes a world of difference.
Definately cook it slowly over a low heat. It lets the flavors simmer to gether nicely. Also, a pinch of sugar wouldn't hurt it. Of all the things to put sugar in, I know my mom uses it in deviled eggs to take the some of the bite away.
i add grated carrots to my sauce for added sweetness
If it's bitter, then the acid is taking over. That's why I always add a good tablespoon of sugar. Sounds gross, but evens out the flavor immensely.
And make sure it's Roma or Plum tomatoes that you're using for your sauce. Large and Vine tomatoes are too big and watery, and don't have as much flavor.
Try adding a spoonful of fruity olive oil and some fresh basil .
Try using sweet basil and fresh tomatoes instead of canned.
