Just a perfect tomato sauce!

Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat.  Using your fingers, crush the tomatoes into a chunky sauce.  Add the onion halves, whole garlic cloves, butter and a pinch of red pepper flakes, to taste.  Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until the flavors have melded and the sauce has reduced and thickened, 45 minutes to one hour.  Taste throughout the cooking process and season with salt and pepper as needed.
