This buttery tomato sauce, inspired by Marcella Hazan, couldn’t be easier to make, and you most likely have the ingredients in your pantry.

Ask any San Diegan if she has air conditioning, and the response is always the same: “No, it’s only hot here a few weeks a year.” Truth be told, I’m a total heat wimp, because my air has been running off and on since February, and there’s no end in sight. Call it global warming […]
My friend Liz is doing it. My friend Elizabeth, too. And so is everyone on the blogosphere. What are they doing you ask? Whipping up the easy-peasy Martha Stewart one-pot pasta.
