Marcella Hazan’s Iconic Sauce

I love this recipe fort two reasons: It is literally 5 ingredients. And its the best.

Ingredients:

1 28oz can high quality whole San Marzano Tomatoes

1/2 an onion - you don’t even need to chop it up

2-3 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 sprig of basil

Simply add all the ingredients into a pot and simmer on medium low for 45 minutes, using a wooden spoon the crush the tomatoes as they cook.

That’s it. And it is that good. I use this sauce for meatballs, pasta, pizza even. It is just the perfect simple tomato sauce.
