They don't cook spaghetti as a whole....the sauce is in one pot and the pasta is in another pot

Once again.... "served"

Of course you don't cook the pasta and the sauce in one pot... that shit is ludicrous. But you also don't "serve" that shit in two vessels. At some point those noodles and sauce need to meet and get acquainted with one another and it's usually before it hits your plate.

Dummies don’t know what serve means
 
So the thing about sugar in tomato sauce goes back to the early days of canning where you have to be sure that what you're canning is safe and that's usually based on the acidity of what you're canning. Back in the day, in an effort to be safe, they would have stricter rules on the level of acidity in canned foods so they would add lemon juice or vitamin C to canned tomatoes just to be safe. In order to cut that added acidity people would add a little sugar to temper their sauce. Nowadays we don't need to do that usually but some people still do out of habit. It's not like people like sweet marinara... it's just what they learned how to do.
 
So mfs really not a fan of some sugar in spagetti sauce? Lol

And to be clear it doesnt kill the acid, it just balances it taste wise. Mfs using Ragu sauce anyway acting like Italian chefs up in here.

lol "balances it taste wise"

look on the back of any sauce and youll see its "balanced" with plenty of sugar already no matter what you choose

You arguing something that is true tho. There are chefs who recommend doing this. By you saying the back of any sauce your referring to Ragu and the other premade sauces, im mostly talking about folks who make their own sauce fresh tho I still throw a little in some Ragu if we having a quick spagetti or rigatoni meal.

I think folks focused on when people add like a cup of sugar or any overkill amount. A little tablespoon goes a long way.

But some people do cook it together tho lol....why would spaghetti be served separately anyway?
 
Now let's get into recipes.

All I need to get busy is a can of San Marzano tomatoes, one clove of garlic, a pinch of red pepper flakes, some olive oil, a couple anchovies, one white onion cut in half and a sprig of basil. Salt and pepper to taste. I might add an old rind of parmesan if I'm feeling froggy. Simmer that shit for 30 minutes, mix in 1/4 cup of the pasta boiling water and let it cook down for a few and you're done.

Short, simple and delicious.
