Marcella Hazan's Tomato Sauce


This has 3 ingredients. 3. Tomatoes. Butter. Onion. Add one, if you want to count the salt. I tried it once, without following any weights or proportions and using whole tomatoes that I pressure cooked and peeled. It was still quite ok. But I am curious to try it like it's written, considering the amount of stuff written about it.

28 oz/ 800gm whole, peeled tomatoes in can (preferably san marzano)
5 tbsp/ 70gm butter
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and halved
salt
Place all ingredients in medium sized pot and simmer gently till fat floats on top. Crush tomatoes as you stir. Discard onion, season with salt and serve.
