Ingredients

One 28 oz can of imported Italian tomatoes, cut up with their juice (San Marzano works well)
1 stick of butter
1 medium onion, pealed and cut in half
Salt to taste, or 1 tsp of fish sauce
blank
Saucepan
Directions
Place the canned San Marzano tomatoes in a saucepan. Mash the tomatoes with your hand, or a spoon.
Add butter, onion, and salt/fish sauce, and cook uncovered at a slow, but steady simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until thicken to your liking.
Stir from time to time, mashing any of the tomato pieces with the back of a wooden spoon.
Taste and correct salt or add fish sauce.
You may remove the onion, as Hazan recommends, or process it and add to the sauce.
