"Tomato Bisque" Pasta

I'm calling this Tomato Bisque Pasta because when I was making the sauce Last night my beau said it looked like "tomato bisque" he was ready to eat it like soup. 
I wish I had some pretty herbs on top but it was thrown together pretty quickly. At least it's on fiesta ware that makes it kinda pretty. 

Anyway these are the ingredients 
2lbs fettuccine cooked according to package
2T olive oil
1 large onion chopped 
8 garlic cloves minced ( I feed a lot of people) 
Pinch Salt 
Pinch Pepper 
Dash Sugar 
1-2 jars of tomato sauce 
1 pt heavy cream 
2c parmesan cheese or other Italian cheese ( I used a blend of parm, romano and asiago.) 

Add oil to skillet. 
Add onion and garlic and  let cook for a minute
Then I added salt and pepper 
Next the tomato sauce -1 jar -and some sugar
Then in goes the heavy cream 
Then I added more tomato sauce until it looked tomatoey enough for my taste. 
Finally I added the cheese and let it melt as I stirred the sauce. 

I pour the sauce into the pot and coated the pasta. I served Hot Italian sausage with it but I didn't put then in the sauce because I wanted a creamy cheesy sauce not one that tasted totally like sausage. 

It was pretty good and easy. I usually think of spaghetti at home and the fancier kinds at restaurants but this was easy enough to do at home on a busy night.
