Recipe for red pasta sauce
- Take a deep pot and combine all the ingredients inside the pot and put it to simmer. Add a pinch of salt.
- Once the tomatoes are soft, break them up. Let everything cook for 45 minutes.
- Add salt to taste and take out the onion. The sauce should have a velvety consistency. Add more butter if you want to increase the silkiness of the sauce.
- Boil pasta and toss it in the sauce. Add fresh basil, fresh-ground pepper and serve.
For added flavour, you can also add garlic cloves along with onion when you cook the sauce.
