TOMATO SAUCE WITH ONION AND BUTTER

Steps:

• Put either the prepared fresh tomatoes or the canned ones in a medium saucepan, add the butter, onion and salt and cook uncovered at a very slow but steady simmer for about 45 minutes, or until it is thickened to your liking and the fat floats free from the tomato.
• Stir from time to time, mashing up large pieces of tomato with the back of a wooden spoon. Taste and correct for salt. Discard the onion before tossing with pasta.

MY MOTHER'S BUTTER, TOMATO, AND ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• If using fresh tomatoes, peel them. Coarsely chop the fresh or canned tomatoes. Trim both ends of the onion; peel it and cut it in half lengthwise.
• Put the tomatoes, onion, butter, and salt in a 4- to 5-quart saucepan over medium heat. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to a slow but steady simmer. Cook, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until the tomatoes are no longer watery and the sauce has reduced, about 45 minutes, depending on the size and shape of the pot. The sauce is done when the butter has separated from the tomatoes and there is no remaining liquid.

Steps:

• Heat the ingredients in a small or medium covered saucepan, over high heat. When the sauce starts to boil, slightly reduce heat to medium-high and leave the lid ajar. Continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes.
• In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Discard the onion from the sauce and toss with well drained pasta. Sprinkle a couple of handfuls of your choice of grated Italian cheese and serve.
