Taste for acidity, if sauce is a bit tangy or acidic, then add 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Serve over pasta and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

The reason for adding basil at the end of cooking is because herbs will become bitter if cooked for more than 20 minutes. If the sauce is too acidic, a calorie-free way to cut the acidity would be to add ½ teaspoon of baking soda.
