20 minutes is the best cooking time in my experience. More and you loose the brightness of the tomato and less the tomatoes are not cooked enough to thicken and blend with the spices and aromatics. Lidia agrees.
I use canned tomatoes all the time to make tomato sauce. I never use sugar. I actually do the opposite and add a splash of vinegar. I think it tastes better with a little added acidity. That and a little anchovy paste (or fish sauce, if you can't find it). You need the umami.
That's why Italians add carrot to the sauce, so it's sweetness can balance out the acidity of tomatoes. If you don't like eating soft carrot in the sauce you can leave the carrot in 1 piece, put it in whilst the sauce is cooking, and remove it before you eat the sauce. Much better than adding refined sugar!

Makes me want Shakshuka
I have to ask why you’re using the scam companies canned tomatoes? They’re “fake” San Marzano’s and they are purposely branded to deceive buyers.
Adding sugar helps bring out flavor, a chef thing
NO SUGAR !!! Good tomatoes don’t require sugar
Sauce looks mighty good! 💜🍝🍷
😊
What's the name of that specific brand of tomatoes? Thanks
