Making dinner with a wrist fracture is a challenge for sure, but with John wielding the knife and can opener, we came through with sausage tortellini in Marcella Hazan’s tomato sauce. I tossed on baby arugula because salad was just beyond me. Here’s the sauce recipe:
2 cups tomatoes, in addition to their juices (for example, a 28-ounce can of San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes)
5 tablespoons butter
1 onion, peeled and cut in half
Salt
Combine the tomatoes, their juices, the butter and the onion halves in a saucepan. Add a pinch or two of salt.
Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally, mashing any large pieces of tomato with a spoon. Add salt as needed.
Discard the onion before tossing the sauce with pasta. This recipe makes enough sauce for a pound of pasta.
Looks good! I'm going to try your recipe. I make a similar sauce with sliced onions, so this will be a little different. Hope your wrist heals quickly.
