Easiest Homemade Tomato Sauce Ever! MUST TRY!


I am not quite sure where my mom got this recipe, but it is crazy delicious! We all fell in love the first time we tried it because the flavors are so simple but intense. It really only has three ingredients and no real seasonings or herbs, so the flavors of the main ingredients are heightened and they really shine! It is so easy to make and tastes so fresh. It tastes exactly like a sauce you would find in Italy too, it is authentic and straight-forward, which is how I found the food to be when I visited. You will love it and will no longer open a jar of store-bought pasta sauce again! Promise!




INGREDIENTS:
~3 cans of diced tomatoes (the 14 oz. cans- so 42 ounces total)
~1 onion, cut in half
~6 or 7 Tablespoons of Butter
~Salt and Pepper to taste

~10-12 ounces of tortellini or other pasta of choice

HOW TO:
Dump the cans into the pot(do not drain the liquid out, just dump the whole thing). Then add the butter and the two onion halves. Bring these ingredients to a boil. Once the reach a boil, reduce the heat down to medium low and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes. Stir occasionally.

After 40 minutes are up and your house smells amazing, it should look like the picture below. Remove the onions and throw them away. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. Then toss your hot, cooked pasta of choice in and experience this sweet and simple sauce. Enjoy!
