Classic Napoletana Pasta

Okay, so I'm not a fan of tomato. At all. But when it comes to Napoletana Pasta, I make an exception! Im such a fan of this sauce, that it's the only thing I order when I go to Primi. Decided to make a version of my own this weekend. The recipe I use reduces the acidity of the tomato. Try it, you won't be disappointed!


Ingredients

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 750g ripe tomatoes skinned; or tomato puree
- Salt and pepper
- 25g butter

Method

    about 20 minutes
