Next thing in is some tomato paste. That also gets cooked out until it's nice and fragrant. Always important to do that when you add tomato paste to a recipe- it should be added during the saute stage at the beginning so you can toast it off and develop its flavor. Doing that really brings out those natural glutamates that tomato paste has, which will give your sauce (or whatever you're making) a deeper, more savory flavor. It also removes any 'canned' taste.
