Gordon Ramsay Tomato Butter Sauce Recipe

This delicious tomato butter sauce, inspired by Gordon Ramsay, is a quick and simple recipe perfect for pasta or as a flavorful base for your favorite dishes. With just a few common ingredients like ripe tomatoes, onion, and butter, it delivers a creamy, rich taste. It’s versatile and easy to make, even for beginner cooks!

Ingredients Needed:

• 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, blanched, peeled, cored, and roughly chopped (about 4 1/2 cups), or 1 (28-ounce) can imported Italian plum tomatoes (such as San Marzano) (undrained), chopped
• 1 medium-size (10-ounce) yellow onion, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 1/2 ounces)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

How To Make Tomato Butter Sauce Recipe?

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Blanch, peel, core, chop fresh tomatoes, or chop canned tomatoes directly without draining.
2. Combine Ingredients in a Saucepan: Add tomatoes, onion halves, butter, and salt to a medium saucepan.
3. Cook the Sauce: Cook over medium-low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Use the back of a wooden spoon to mash large pieces of tomato. Continue cooking until the fat separates from the tomatoes and the sauce slightly thickens, about 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes.
4. Season and Remove Onion: Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Remove and discard the onion halves before serving.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Ingredients When Possible: Fresh, ripe tomatoes give the best flavor, but high-quality canned tomatoes like San Marzano are a great alternative.
• Don’t Skip the Butter: The key to the sauce’s rich and creamy texture. Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness.
• Cook Slowly for Maximum Flavor: Let the sauce simmer on low heat for at least an hour. This helps blend the flavors and thicken the sauce naturally.
• Remove the Onion Carefully: After cooking, discard the onion halves to avoid overpowering the sauce with their flavor.
• Adjust Seasoning Gradually: Taste the sauce towards the end of cooking and add salt little by little to avoid over-salting.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the tomato butter sauce to room temperature first. Then, put it in a sealed container and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Freeze: Once the sauce is cool, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Heat the sauce in a pot on low heat, stirring now and then, until it’s warm.
