"Summary: From Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking...."
INGREDIENTS

2 pounds fresh, ripe tomatoes (blanched, peeled, and chopped) or–much easier–2 cups canned imported Italian plum tomatoes (I used a 28 ounce can of San Marzano), cut up, with their juice

1 medium onion, peeled and cut in half
•
Salt
•
1 pound pasta (spaghetti, penne, rigatoni)
