‘The Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking’ by Marcella Hazan
- Put fresh prepared tomatoes 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 tomatoes.
- Stir from time to time, mashing any large pieces of tomato in the pan with the back of a wooden spoon. Taste and correct for salt. Discard the onion before tossing the sauce with the pasta.
I enjoy the efforts you have put in this, thanks for all the great posts.
