In all seriousness, I read The Godfather before I saw the movie. The book goes into a long detail of how to make real Italian Spaghetti Sauce. At the end of the recipe which is full of tomatoes, wine, spices and herbs the character says "And here is the secret ingredient. A cup of sugar."
That's not uncommon. People add sugar to sauce to cut the acidity of the tomatoes. Monjuni's probably uses a ton of sugar in their signature sauce (a sauce I really like even though I was never brought up on sweet red sauces) but they also don't use ketchup in butter to make their sauce.

The thing about ketchup is that it contains a lot of vinegar. That would add to the acidity. Sugar adds sweet without the vinegar.

Close. Monjuni's uses grape jelly.
