Add one medium sized diced onion
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 small green pepper diced
The additions of the above should give you a fabulous sauce.

If it tastes too acidy- add a pinch or two of sugar- this kills some of the acidity of the tomatoes which happens when using canned tomatoes or ready made sauces. I do this each time I make spaghetti sauce and it tastes much better.

Leave it alone and let it simmer. It has to cook for awhile so that ingredients blend together. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of Oregano. Works for me. Will probably need more salt and pepper later. Let it cook.

Your tomatoes were bitter. You probably didn't taste them, first.
The garlic added more bitter.
Try 1 and 1/2 to 3 tablespoons of brown sugar or honey and 2 tsp. sweet basil.
If you have some sweet wine or grape juice, you could add 1/4 cup.

Nothing about that seems "disgusting" at all. Are you used to commercial, very sweet tomato sauces? If so, add a teaspoon or two of sugar.
