You don't need to make a fuss.

Just caramelize some onions in a frying pan, and then throw in a load of juicy tomatoes that have been peeled seeded and chopped.

Add some salt and pepper, and some fresh Basil, and let thwe lot cook over a slow heat while you boil the pasta.

PS - If you have never peeled tomotoes before, then stop!

There is an easy way!

You boil a pan of water, and drop your tomatoes in and leave them for a minute or two (no more than that).

The idea is to make the skin puff up off the tomato flesh.

Then, if it hasn't burst already, you pierce the skin with a sharp knife, and it just falls off the tomato.

Then chop in half and scrape out the seeds.

I do this with a small teaspoon, but methods may vary.

When the pasta is boiled and strained, return it to the pan, and mix in the onion and tomato suce that has been cooking on a slow heat.

Serve with plenty of parmesan.

This takes 15 minutes.

1 onion and about 7 average size tomatoes makes sauce for two people.
