Ingredients
2 cans San Marzano Tomatoes
3 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups finely chopped yellow onions
5 - 10 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
4 sprigs fresh basil
Shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese and chopped basil
Directions
Pour tomatoes into a medium mixing bowl then crush all of the tomatoes well with your hands, set aside. Melt butter in a large pot slightly over medium heat. Add onions and saute until softened, about 8 minutes. Move onions over to one side of the pan, add garlic to opposite side and saute 1 minute, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Pour in tomatoes and olive oil. Season with salt, add basil and submerge. Bring just to a light boil then reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, stirring occasionally, abou 15 - 25 minutes. Using tongs, remove basil and discard. Serve sauce warm with pasta and top with Parmesan or Romano cheese and basil.
