Simple, but delicious red sauce.

Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    2 pounds fresh paste tomatoes
    Or
    1 can 28 oz good Italian plum tomatoes (I use Cento)

    5 tbs butter

    1 whole onion, peeled and cut in half

    Salt to taste

Tips

Toss with pasta, or use a bit on pizza. Freezes well.
Don't add any spices. It's delicious as is.


Directions

Combine the tomatoes, their juices, the butter and the onion halves in a saucepan. (I like to puree first) Add a pinch or two of salt.
2.
Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for about 45 minutes, a bit less if puréed first Stir occasionally, mashing any large pieces of tomato with a spoon. Add salt as needed.
3.
Discard the onion before tossing the sauce with pasta. (I eat it!)
This recipe makes enough sauce for a pound of pasta.


Serving Size: Enough sauce for one pound pasta

    This is a lovely method for delicious pasta sauce! It's a go-to in my house. Brighten up the canned tomatoes with a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar. - 4/13/19
