Sorry, I forgot to reply!!!
Taste tends to be a little stronger, perhaps, than what you might be used to, but that might just be my seasonings. I think the tomatoey taste is a bit subdued - especially with the meatballs as it's sort of cooked out perhaps... But the additional jars of sauce bring some of that back. It tends to taste a bit more meaty, perhaps.

Sweet? Do you add sugar somewhere or are you talking the sweetness of properly-ripened tomatoes? I'm only using a large tin of tomato sauce, so I am undoubtedly losing some of the natural sweetness.

Thanks for stopping by!
