Deliciousness itself
author: John Q. Public
Preparation time: ~30 minutes
Set water to boil. Melt butter in large saucepan. Add tomatoes.
Cook tomatoes down on medium heat until reduced by about half. Break up tomatoes with spoon as you go.
Boil pasta according to normal directions.
Note: The beauty of this is that everything typically comes out together. It turns out that with a stick of butter, this pasta sauce is to die for, pure and simple. You can fancy it up if you want, but the basic recipe of tomatoes + butter is pretty damned good. Between salted butter and the salt normally in canned tomatoes, this is plenty seasoned, but if you have salt-free butter or low-salt tomatoes, you may need to add salt to taste.
