Adapted from Marcella Hazan's Tomato Sauce With Onion & Butter.
<br />
<br />The original recipe is beautifully simple & I tried not to take away from that.
<br />
<br />I made one technique change, pulsing the tomatoes in a blender in lieu of chopping, this made clean up easier as tomato leakage is inevitable on a cutting board.
<br />
<br />Next, the recipe, I tested butter for Ghee, which was an oily mess! Then shallots instead of onions, which added nothing.
<br />
<br />Finally, I added in a splash of fish sauce and we had a winner! The fish sauce added umami and flavor depth without complicating a simply delicious recipe.
