Marcella Hazan’s Four-ingredient Tomato Sauce: A Simple Classic
  1. Place tomatoes, their juice, butter, and onion halves in a 4–5-quart saucepan.

  2. Add salt to taste.

  3. Bring to medium heat; when bubbling, lower heat and simmer gently.

  4. Stir every 10–15 minutes, mashing tomatoes with the back of a spoon.

  5. Simmer 45 minutes, until sauce thickens and butter separates.

  6. Remove onion. Adjust seasoning if needed.

  7. For a smoother sauce, mash or blend gently.

  8. Serve hot over cooked pasta; garnish with freshly grated Parmesan.
