SALSA SEMPLICE (SIMPLE SAUCE)
Author: 
Recipe type: Main Dish
 
Adapted from a recipe by Marcella Hazan
Ingredients
  • 2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons fresh finely chopped basil (or use dried basil, just less of it, 'cause it's stronger), or just throw in a few basil leaves, which is what I like to do
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter (unsalted or salted, whichever you have)
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
  1. Put all ingredients in a large saucepan over medium heat, bring to a simmer, then lower heat and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove onion before tossing sauce with the pasta, saucing your pizza or using in your baked pasta dish. I just throw the onion away, but maybe there's another use you can think of for it.
