Tomato Sauce
A minimalist Italian tomato sauce simmered with onion, butter and salt.
About Tomato Sauce
Tomato sauce covers many regional styles; this profile names the selected version precisely. It follows Marcella Hazan's celebrated Italian tomato sauce with onion and butter rather than presenting one formula as universal.
Ripe plum tomatoes provide concentrated sweetness and acidity. Butter softens their sharpness and gives the sauce a rounded richness, while a halved onion perfumes the tomatoes without becoming a chopped-texture component.
The finished sauce is vivid red, softly pulpy and glossy with butter. Its texture is thick enough to coat pasta, with a clean tomato flavour and gentle savoury sweetness.
