Spaghetti with Simple Red Sauce

• servings: 4
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

28 oz can tomatoes (Crushed or whole peeled san marzano style. The quality of this determines the quality of your sauce)

5 tbsp butter

1 onion, halved and peeled

Directions

Add all the ingredients to a wide pot and bring to a simmer. If you’re choosing to add any dried herbs, do it at the beginning. Once the butter has melted fully, simmer for 45 mins. Serve over spaghetti or whatever shape you desire, adding a small amount of the pasta water into the sauce to thin it out as needed. Top with cheese as desired.

Notes

Description:

Marcella Hazan is credited with introducing traditional Italian cooking to America. She emphasizes seasonal cooking, and simplicity that highlights the ingredients. This recipe does the latter; a red sauce consisting of only three ingredients.
