“An Italian Tomato Sauce With Butter”
My sister made Marcella Hazan’s sauce I believe as far back as the 70s. Finding out the sauce was made with butter, I thought to myself (especially coming from an Italian background) what kind of Italian recipe is this?
Well, it was delicious & I then bought Marcella’s cookbook. We still talk about that tomato sauce up until this day...almost 50 years later!

I love a sort of recipe from Mario Batali: slice up some garlic, cook it lightly in olive oil, add some halved Sungold tomatoes and saute them just for a minute or two. While that's happening make some pasta. Drain it, add it to the skillet, toss, add a few shredded basil leaves and a handful of grated Parmesan.

Actually, "the most genius of them all" is this:
(1) In late July go into your garden and pick a lovely ripe slicing tomato -- German Johnson, Cherokee Chocolate, Brandywine, or Black Prince -- and take it inside your house. (Or go to a farmer's market and buy such a tomato; then take it home.)
(2) Wash it off, then dry it with a towel.
(3) Slice thickly, salt lightly, put on a plate, and eat right away.
(4) Do not let it come near a refrigerator.
