I use Hunt's or Contadina, whichever is cheaper at the commissary. I just checked cans and neither contained any sugar or added salt.
My pasta sauce is at its simplest (whether I add meat or veggies depends on what the sauce will be adorning) is this:
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes 1 8-oz can tomato paste Approximately 2 cloves minced garlic 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon dried basil 1/4 cup red wine
For sweetener, I usually toss in 1 packet Splenda. Since I don't think that's what you're after, you might try Mario Battali's trick, which is to use 1 medium carrot, grated.
The tomato paste, garlic, and herbs get stir-fried together in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the tomatoes, red wine, and sweetener. Cover, turn heat to low, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
If I'm not mistaken, I have a recipe in my "memories" section as well.
