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.

SUPER RICH 3 INGREDIENT TOMATO SAUCE

Never did so little produce so much intense flavor! Easy on the butter, though, you may find this too rich! I will admit, my husband doesn't care for this sauce - a little too heavy, he says. But for me, the richer the better! I use this when a recipe calls for a small amount of tomato sauce, with Italian seasoning on meatball sandwiches, wherever it seems to fit.

Marcella Hazan's Tomato Sauce image

This is perhaps the most famous recipe created by Marcella Hazan, the cookbook author who changed how Americans cook Italian food. It also may be her easiest. Use your favorite canned tomatoes for this and don't be scared off by the butter. It gives the sauce an unparalleled velvety richness.
