the most delicious tomato sauce I have ever eaten

Pour about 2 liters of water into a large pot, add ½ teaspoon of salt, and bring to a boil. When the water boils, add the pasta and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally. For the sauce, peel and finely dice the onion. Dice or chop the tomatoes, removing the stems first. Cut the sausages into pieces about 1-1.5 cm thick. Melt the margarine in a pot and cook the diced onions until lightly golden brown, stirring occasionally. As soon as the onions turn brown, immediately add the ketchup. Then fill the ketchup bottle with 200 ml of water, shake vigorously (with the lid on, of course), and add it to the onions. Bring everything to a boil briefly. Then add the sauce thickener with a whisk, stirring constantly, until a creamy consistency is achieved, stirring well to prevent lumps. Let the sauce boil for about another ½ minute. Finally, add the sausage and tomato pieces, stir well, and let stand for another 2 minutes. Now arrange the sauce on plates with the pasta and serve. If you’re really hungry, this will serve 3-4 people; if you’re not particularly hungry, it’ll even feed 5.
