Preparation
Step 1
Put the fresh tomatoes in a medium saucepan, add the butter, onion, Tuscan seasoning and salt, and cook uncovered over medium heat a very slow, but steady simmer for about 45-55 minutes. The tomatoes will break down, as will the onion. Make sure to stir from time to time, mashing up any large pieces of tomato with the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.
Step 2
Once removed from the heat, use an immersion blender to blend the sauce (including the onion) to your desired consistency. I like it pretty smooth. Add in a handful of basil and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Step 3
Serve over freshly cooked pasta or in any other dishes where you need a tomato sauce.
