Equipment
- Heavy Bottom Casserole Dish or Dutch Oven
Ingredients
- 800 grams peeled plum tomatoes 2 regular 400g tins
- 75 grams salted butter
- 1 white onion peeled and sliced in half
- salt to taste
To Serve
- 400 grams pasta of your choice cooked to packet instructions
- grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Add the onion, tomatoes and butter into a heavy bottomed pan (I use a 20cm/2.4l cast iron casserole).
- On a medium heat, bring the pot to a simmer - you don't want to let it fully boil.
- Turn the heat to the lowest setting and simmer for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally and lightly crushing the whole tomatoes as you stir.
- Remove the onion and add salt to taste.
- Toss with freshly cooked pasta and serve sprinkled with parmesan.
Notes
This Simple Tomato Pasta Sauce will keep in the fridge for 2 days. You can also freeze it - I like to make a big batch and freeze single portions for quick and easy meals.
