Servings
The simplest of all sauces, this pure yet irresistibly rich tomato sauce is ideal for all types of pasta. Featuring peeled plum tomatoes, sugar, butter and a single yellow onion, the sweetness of the butter and tartness of the tomatoes make it irresistible.
Ingredients
- 2 (28 ounce) cans Tuttorosso® Peeled Plum Tomatoes, crushed with hands
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 stick butter, cubed
- 2 medium onions, peeled and quartered lengthwise
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step one
Bring tomatoes, sugar, butter and onion to a boil in a 4 quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
Step two
Reduce heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally and mashing any large pieces of tomato with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook about 45 minutes or until flavors blend and sauce is slightly reduced.
Step three
Remove onion and season sauce with salt and pepper before serving.
