3 Ingredients Tomato Sauce

 

Bear with me – I am trying to make my recipes printable so you don’t have to print out 10 pages of wordy blog or splatter your laptop with sauce while you’re cooking. Btw: this is the EASIEST tomato sauce I’ve ever heard of or made!

3 Ingredients Tomato Sauce
Recipe type: Main
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 

Serves: 4
 

This is the crockpot of all tomato sauce recipes. It’s SO easy it’s ridiculous! This is adapted from Marcella Hazan’s recipe and can be found all over the internet(s).
Ingredients
  • 28 oz can tomatoes (no salt added)- I used 2 lbs fresh tomatoes instead
  • 5 tbsp butter (I used salted- if you use unsalted you can add salt to taste at the end)
  • 1 onion – peeled & halved

Instructions
  1. Combine ingredients in a large sauce pan over medium heat. When sauce starts to boil, lower heat & simmer for about 45 minutes. Serve over favorite pasta.
  2. It wasn’t necessary but I added fresh basil, ground black pepper & a few shakes of crushed red pepper. I also chopped up half the onion and threw that back in. YUM!
  3. Be sure to have some crusty bread for dipping!
  4. NOTE: My prep time was longer b/c I used fresh tomatoes.

    I make this all the time (with the canned tomatoes). I add a little olive oil to it too (sometimes I split the butter and olive oil so the total amount ends up being the same). It makes the best pizza sauce…really! Also, if you pick up some of those little mozzarella balls, you can throw those on top once you dish up the pasta and sauce, add some of that fresh basil along with them, and a few shavings of parmesan…great dinner!

    My dad also makes this and puts a few whole Anaheim chile peppers on top as the sauce simmers. Once it’s done, you can serve the chiles with the pasta and sauce- it’s not that spicy but really flavorful. Very versatile sauce.

    I think you should provide the recipe card AND the long list of pics, which I like.
