This wonderful pasta recipe is simple but very delicious. Use spaghetti, bucatini, and/or penne as your pasta shapes!

1 pound dried pasta

2 pounds rip tomatoes or 3 cups canned whole peeled tomatoes with their juice

6 tablespoons butter

Salt

1 medium yellow onion

1. If using fresh tomatoes, peel them. Coarsely chop the tomatoes and put them in a sauce pot. Place over medium heat, add the butter, and season with salt.

2. Peel the onion, trim away the root, cut it in half, and add it to the pot.

3. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat and simmer until the tomatoes are no longer watery and the sauce is reduced, 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size and shape of the pot. The sauce will cook faster in a wider pot. When the sauce is done, you should not see any more liquid in the pot.
