best tomato cream sauce

Sometimes, regular tomato sauce is a little too acidic for me. Plus, I really enjoy a hint of sweetness (in mostly everything...lol!). This is my rendition of a vodka cream sauce, minus the vodka, and with a hint of sweetness. I have used this sauce for spaghetti, for lasagna, for meatballs, and over chicken stuffed manicotti. I have even thought about jarring and selling this. So, whenever you need to grab a red Italian sauce, try this one to see if you agree on the deliciousness.
