Ingredients

2 28-oz. cans whole San Marzano tomatoes
1 stick butter
1 large yellow onion, washed, peeled, and cut in half lengthwise to keep it held together by a small amount of root portion
5–6 small (or 2–3 large) cloves garlic, peeled
2 t salt
1 t sugar

Instructions

Put it all in a pot. Bring to a simmer, and simmer for an hour, uncovered.
Remove the onion. (If some onion remains in there, no big deal — extra flavor!)
Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth.

Notes

This makes two dinners for our family of two adults and 1 toddler. I use one immediately, and freeze a pint jar of the second.
