50 New Recipes: Spaghetti Sauce
Original recipe: 1 28-oz can plum tomatoes, 1 onion cut in half, 1/2 stick of butter.
Melt butter in large skillet, place onion cut side down in skillet, turn on heat, pour in tomatoes, mush them up, cook down.
No way am I using half a stick of butter for otherwise-innocuous spaghetti sauce.
My version:
Chop onion. Saute' in 1 TBS olive oil. When onion is golden/translucent, add can of plum tomatoes, smooshing them thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Cook until mixture thickens.
Verdict: Yum. One small onion, or only half the onion, would have been a better choice.

I can't imagine using that for something that isn't explicitly a dessert.
Good call on the olive oil! And need I even say it, get some garlic in there. Maybe a bit of oregano.
Bork, bork, bork!
