Leave it to Marcella Hazan, the queen of Italian cuisine, to concoct an ultrasimple but extremely lush tomato sauce that only requires three (excluding salt) ingredients.

For this meal plan: Make the sauce as directed, reserving the braised onion for the next day (roughly chop it after removing it from the sauce). Serve half the sauce with cooked spaghetti and a chiffonade of basil; reserve the second half of the sauce for later in the week.
