For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to blend the sauce before adding the cream. A splash of tomato paste added along with the crushed tomatoes can deepen the flavor. If you don't have heavy cream, half-and-half can be used, but the sauce will be slightly less rich. Pancetta or prosciutto, diced and cooked with the onions, adds a wonderful smoky flavor. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
