Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 24-ounce can whole tomatoes (San Marzano are fabulous, but I've used others and they're also delicious)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion (peeled and halved)
Salt (optional, to taste)

Steps:

  • Add the tomatoes, butter, and onion to a heavy medium-sized saucepan. Bring sauce to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, keeping it at a steady simmer.
  • Simmer for about 45 minutes until the butter droplets float free from the tomatoes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, gently smashing the tomato on the side of the pan as you stir.
  • Remove the onion and discard.
  • If desired, season to taste with salt.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta.
