one 28-ounce can of San Marzano crushed or whole peeled tomatoes
5 tablespoons butter
1 medium sweet yellow onion, peeled and cut in half
Salt (optional)
Instructions
Combine your can of crushed tomatoes (or whole peeled tomatoes), butter and onion halves in a saucepan.
Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to a slow but steady simmer. Cook, uncovered, for about 45 minutes, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes. Mash any large pieces of tomato with a spoon if you used whole tomatoes. Add salt as needed. (You'll cook the sauce until the tomatoes are no longer watery and the sauce has reduced. The sauce is done when there is no remaining liquid.)
Discard the onion before tossing the sauce with pasta.
Notes
This recipe makes enough sauce for a pound of pasta.
NOTE: If you like your tomato sauce a little sweeter, add a pinch of sugar to the sauce while cooking.
