- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup chicken stock
- Two 32-ounce cans San Marzano tomatoes

- Heat the olive oil over medium-low to medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of the butter and melt into the oil.
- When the butter bubbles add the garlic and onions, and season with salt and a little pepper.
- Cover and cook to soften, stirring occasionally until the onions are very soft and sweet, about 15 minutes, but not brown.
- Add the stock and tomatoes to the pot, breaking up the tomatoes with a potato masher or wooden spoon.
- Add several leaves of basil, torn.
- Gently simmer to thicken, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta, cook to al dente and reserve 1 cup starchy cooking water.

- Toss the pasta with the water, remaining 1 tablespoon butter, half the sauce and some cheese.
- Serve in shallow bowls topped with more sauce, and pass the cheese at table.
