SIMPLE TOMATO SAUCE
3 to 4 tablespoons fat (extra-virgin olive oil, butter or rendered meat fat such as sausage or bacon)
3 medium garlic cloves, minced (or 1 small onion, halved and sliced thin or chopped fine)
1 (28 ounces) can crushed tomatoes (or whole tomatoes packed in puree)
Ground black pepper and salt
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves (optional)
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat garlic and oil together over medium-high heat until garlic starts to sizzle.
If using onion, heat oil, add onions and saute until soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, bring to a simmer; continue to simmer over medium-low heat until sauce thickens and flavors meld, about 10 to 15 minutes (cooking time varies based on added ingredients).
Taste the sauce and season with pepper and salt, if necessary. Stir in optional parsley. Add about 2/3 of the sauce with the cooked pasta and toss. Serve, topping each portion with remaining sauce.
Servings: 4
