6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large red onion
3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, or 1 tablespoon dried
2 (28-ounce) cans peeled whole tomatoes, crushed through a food mill or by hand
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the thyme, tomatoes, and juice and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until as thick as hot cereal. Season with salt and pepper.
