Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds fresh, ripe tomatoes, peeled and roughly chopped, or one 28 ounce can imported Italian tomatoes, cut up, with their juice
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, peeled and cut in half
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Put either the prepared fresh tomatoes or the canned in a saucepan, add the butter, onion, and salt, and cook uncovered at a very slow, but steady simmer for about 45 minutes. Stir from time to time, mashing up any large pieces of tomato with the back of a wooden spoon.
- When it is done, scoop out the onion and discard (or better still, save it to eat or stir into soup!)
- If you like your sauce smoother, whirl it with an immersion blender, or pour carefully into a regular blender and blend.
- Taste and and add more salt as needed, and then toss with your favorite pasta. Throw out all other tomato sauce recipes.
Notes
Salt: Ok, that’s ingredient number 4, but it is totally optional, depending on how sweet you like your tomato sauce.
Tomatoes: I use canned tomatoes, but during fresh tomato season you can use fresh chopped tomatoes as well.
Onion: You want a nice big sweet onion for this sauce…they are sometimes called Vidalia or Walla Walla onions.
