The recipe is incredibly simple, calling for nearly all pantry items: onions, garlic, tomato paste, and canned peeled tomatoes. You may have to add thyme to your shopping list, though I made it once without it, and it turned out fine. You might also need to pick up some heavy cream, which could be omitted, but I think it adds a necessary touch of richness— a little cream goes a long way here balancing the acidity and sweetness of the tomatoes.
