Easy Tomato Sauce Recipe
Make Marcella Hazan's Iconic Tomato Sauce Tonight
In case you aren't yet acquainted with Marcella Hazan's iconic three-ingredient tomato sauce, it is that good. If you're already a convert, carry on supping on this incredibly rich, well-balanced sauce; if you aren't, please (please!) simmer up a batch tonight.
Sure, the tomatoes (at least the canned ones) aren't going anywhere, but just think, each day you wait is one more day without a drop of this velvety sauce passing your lips.
This sauce is not only stupid simple to prepare (three ingredients: that's it), it'll also blow any and all competition out of the water.
Adapted from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking by Marcella Hazan While perhaps best in its most elemental state, glossed over strands of spaghetti, it could be slathered on pizza, layered in lasagna, or employed as a poaching liquid for eggs.Marcella Hazan's Tomato Sauce
