Notes
Cook the pasta al dente to avoid overcooking when it's toss to the hot sauce. Turn off heat as soon as all pasta is coated with the sauce.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add pasta water to thin it out. Start first with 1/4 cup water then add more as needed.
Taste the sauce after simmering it with the vegetables so you can gauge how much sugar is needed or if it even needs sugar at all.
