Classic Recipe: Marcella Hazan s Famous Tomato Sauce

The idea behind this tomato sauce is simple: Simmer a can of tomatoes with an onion and five tablespoons of butter. Add a pinch of salt and pull out the onion at the end, and you re left with a bright, velvety tomato sauce with a rich roundness from the butter. The butter doesn t saw off the edges of the tomatoes tanginess in the way that sugar does; instead it complements the brightness and makes it shine.
