About This Recipe
This lighter take on Marcella Hazan’s iconic tomato sauce uses high-quality canned tomatoes, a halved onion, and butter for a rich, silky pasta sauce made with just 3 ingredients. Makes enough sauce for 1 pound of pasta.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes (I highly recommend Tuttorrosso green label or San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes crushed by hand)
- 1 medium onion (peeled and cut in half)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
Instructions
- In a medium pot, combine the crushed tomatoes, butter and the onion, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat, covered until the onions are soft, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Discard the onion (or puree it with tomatoes and add back to the sauce) before tossing the sauce with pasta. This recipe makes enough sauce for 1 pound of pasta.
