1 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Chef's tip
Match the form the recipe uses - grated for sprinkling and sauces, a firm wedge for shaving. If the recipe melts the cheese, choose a product labeled meltable.
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn

Instructions

1
Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter is foamy and the fat shimmers.
2
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 6–7 minutes.
