Homemade Tomato Sauce
Report
This Homemade Tomato Sauce, inspired by the legend Marcella Hazan, is truly the most perfect tomato sauce known to man. I finish mine a bit differently, and I don't peel the tomatoes as I like to keep it easy!

Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh, ripe tomatoes cut into large chunks
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion peeled and cut in half
- 1 tbsp Dalkin&Co Tuscan Seasoning
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- fresh basil

Instructions
- Put the fresh tomatoes in a medium saucepan, add the butter, onion, Tuscan seasoning and salt, and cook uncovered over medium heat a very slow, but steady simmer for about 45-55 minutes. The tomatoes will break down, as will the onion. Make sure to stir from time to time, mashing up any large pieces of tomato with the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.
- Once removed from the heat, use an immersion blender to blend the sauce (including the onion) to your desired consistency. I like it pretty smooth. Add in a handful of basil and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve over freshly cooked pasta or in any other dishes where you need a tomato sauce.
Notes
- Freeze in portions such as ice cube trays for easy use!
