Marcella, who died in 2013, provided precise instructions for the sauce, too. You should put half a peeled onion into a pot with butter and tinned tomatoes and leave it all to simmer for 45 minutes.
Food publication Delish dubbed the sauce "the best in the world."
Her husband Victor talked to Epicurious about her efficient methods: "Marcella was a genius when it came to taste. She had an immediate understanding about how flavour affects a dish.
"She asked herself, 'Why chop an onion? Why sauté? I'm going to put the onion, tomato, and butter together and forget about it'."
It's bold to claim this is the best sauce in the world as that is a subjective matter but Italians are famous for their simplicity in cooking. It's all about the produce – tomatoes being one of the most important.

A long career. William Daniels had been in the film and TV industry for decades when he began portraying the beloved teacher Mr. Feeny on the coming-of-age sitcom Boy Meets World in 1993.
After films like “Khadak,” “La Cinquième Saison,” and most recently, “The Barefoot Emperor” (all co-directed with Peter Brosens), Belgian-American filmmaker Jessica Woodworth goes solo with the black and white festival gem “Luka,” which premiered as part of Rotterdam’s Big Screen Competition. In a co-production between Armenia, Belgium, Italy, and Bulgaria, the film is delightfully angsty and bursting with desire: for power, togetherness, and a world at its breaking point.

There’s a certain type of dystopian sci-fi that turns up in Sundance every few years, a kind of ‘EPCOT on acid’ that causes a big ripple then rapidly fades away (see Escape From Tomorrow, a paranoid conspiracy thriller shot, guerrilla-style, in Disneyworld). Divinity, screening in the Next section, fits the bill exactly, a quirky mad scientist movie that, for all its attempts to be arty, darkly satirical and out-there, ends up as a kind of lo-fi companion piece to Don’t Worry Darling in its not-so-subtle skewering of American consumerism. Shot in grainy black and white, its chief draw is Stephen Dorff as you’ve never seen him before, and will likely never want to see him again.
