Add a little sugar. That's a Chef's secret.

add some dark brown sugar to it and maybe some more spices like a little sea salt + olive oil. My sauces come out pretty good and I use a lot od garlic, brown sugar and I also dice (fine) fresha roma tomatoes. Also, I always start out with cooking up garlic, mushrooms, onions (adding last the tomatoes) in olive oil with sea salt, thyme, basil, oregano, fresh ground pepper and rosemary. Then I add the sauce base simmer and add the dark brown sugar when it is simmering. Let it simmer a long time on low.

Usually when I cook with curry or tomato sauce/ paste I add a little sugar. Note there are 100's of different curries in the world and they do taste VERY different.

a tsp of sugar per an entire pan of tomato sauce should do that trick but you should never add more than a tsp, if you find its still not working for you, then add a little balsamic vinegar. it brings out the flavour of the tomatoes and take all the acidity away, i know it sounds like it should do the exact opposite but trust me it works, i work as a chef for a living. but not too much, about a tbsp for a normal size pan full. good luck

Kind of depends on the end product...If you are making an Italian dish, you can use a little fresh garlic and basil to sweeten it up a bit, If you are doing Mexican, try a little mild chili or cummin. Sometimes, believe it or not, a little salt will enhance the flavor of your sauce, and cuts down on the acid.(try this yourself,eat a wedge of tomato plain, then try it with a dash of salt).

Add a 1/3 to 1/2 cup of milk.

How much sugar did you put in it. Just put in 1 level teaspoon of sugar in it if you are making a large pot of sauce.

maybe you are adding too much sugar. sugar should do the trick. thing is you are dealing with tomatoes and tomatoes have a high acidity. you cant just make it go away.

a little sugar --basill--bay leaves and simmer for 20 more minutes. I promise this works use small amounts to taste till you get it right.
