While making my own "from scratch" pizza sauce one
day, a very accomplished Italian Cook and friend came
up to me just before I tossed in a handfull of white
sugar, and he handed me a carrot.  He said no "real"
Italian cook would ever put refined sugar in a tomato
sauce, and suggested instead that I cook the carrot
and puree it, then add it to the sauce...
