"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 lbs. fresh ripe plum totatoes, peeled, seeded and coarsely
chopped OR 3 cups canned whole peeled tomatoes, with their

juice, coarsely chopped


6 tbs. butter
1 medium size yellow onion, peeled and cut in half
salt
4 tbs. freshly grated parmigian-reggiano cheese
1 lb. dried pasta, your choice
Directions:
Directions:
Put all ingredients except cheese in a saucepan and simmer
over low heat until tomatoes have reduced and separated
from the butter: 20-40 minutes depending on the size of the
pan. Sauce should no longer be watery. Remove from the
heat and set aside, discarding the two onion halves. (Note,
you can prepare the sauce ahead of time and refrigerate it
for 3-4 days or freeze it.)

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tbs. of
salt and the pasta (I also add a small amount of olive oil to
keep the pasta from sticking together). Stir well, and cook
until the pasta is al dente. Drain and toss with the sauce and
grated cheese.

Personal Notes:
I love the purity of this tomato sauce. The
onion infuses a nice flavor. The other beauty of it is that you
pop it all on the stove (I use the canned tomatoes for ease)
and it pretty much cooks itself.
