Light Tomato Sauce

• 28-ounce can Redpack whole tomatoes in puree
• 2 small onions, sliced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
• 4 tablespoons butter

1. Cook the tomatoes, onions, salt, pepper, and basil over medium-high heat for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. If you want a smooth sauce, strain it or puree it in the food processor.
3. I prefer to leave the sauce with lumps, just breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon.
4. Then add the butter and continue to cook until it melts.
5. VARIATION:
6. Instead of the basil, substitute 1 teaspoon dried oregano or tarragon or any other herb that you fancy.
