How To Make tomato sauce with onion and butter

Step 1

Put either the prepared fresh tomatoes or the canned in a saucepan, add the butter, onion, and salt, and cook uncovered at a very slow, but steady simmer for 45 minutes, or until the fat floats free from the tomato.

Step 2

Stir from time to time, mashing any large piece of tomato in the pan with the back of a wooden spoon.
Step 3

Taste and correct for salt.
Step 4

Discard the onion before tossing the sauce with pasta.
