Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 (28 oz.) cans whole tomatoes with juices (ideally San Marzano tomatoes)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Sugar (optional)

Instruction

  • In a medium sauce pan over high heat add tomatoes, onion, garlic, butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook at a low simmer partially covered for 1 hour.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree it or transfer it in two batches to a blender.
  • Taste. If the sauce isn’t sweet enough, add sugar 1 teaspoon at a time, tasting after each addition to see if it has the flavor you’d like. I usually add only 1 teaspoon. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
