butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

Olive oil is a healthier fat option.

Break up the whole San Marzano tomatoes with your hand until they are bite-sized or smaller.

Add the broken tomatoes to a pot.

Place half an onion face down in the pot with the tomatoes.

Add butter to the pot.

Turn on the heat and bring to a slow simmer.

Once simmering, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.

Simmer for 45 minutes, ensuring it does not boil.
