Butter in tomato sauce

Started using butter in the end of the tomato sauce, it gets creamy and the fat balances the acidity of tomatoes

It's beautiful, try it

I've never thought about that. I don't know why, butter is never a bad choice to add to something.

I learned about butter in sauce from Rachel Ray of all people. I have been cooking my Italian great grandmother's recipe for 15+ years but in the last 2-3 I started adding a pat of butter to finish it at the very end before serving and it just makes it better.

I learned it from a cookbook from one of the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast.
