Tomato Sauce With Onion + Butter + And Then Some

1. 1

   Put canned tomatoes in a big pot, add the diced butter, onion, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes.

2. 2

   Put 1 cup of water into the empty tomato can and squish it around to collect all of those good tomato juices. Add to pot with other ingredients.

3. 3

   Cook sauce uncovered at a very slow, but steady simmer for about 60 minutes. Stir every 8 or so minutes and mash the tomatoes, onions, and garlic with a wooden spoon.

4. 4

   After the sauce is thickened and the tomatoes are jammy, add additional salt and red pepper flakes to taste. Serve on pasta with freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano.
