Basic Tomato Sauce

• You will need:
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 large cans of tomato sauce (fresh tomatoes if you can get them)
• Pinch of sugar, salt, pepper, fresh parsley, and fresh basil
• 2 anchovy fillets rinsed and minced
• Hot pepper flakes

1. I prefer fresh herbs if I can get them; but, like fresh tomatoes they may not be available in late December. Once I've made the sauce I can use it for any of the dishes-baccala, stuffed calamari, linguine with clams, and so on. (and at regular meals, I love it with extra red pepper flakes and a pork loin slow cooked for a couple of hours and then poured over pasta-nothing better!).
2. Heeat oil on medium or low heat in skillet. Add minced garlic to oil and cook until the garlic is soft and clear-do not let it burn. add two cans of sauce to the pan. Rinse and mince the anchovies and add to sauce. Add a pinch of sugar. Then add salt and pepper and hot pepper flakes-this is a "feel" thing. Don't go crazy at first-after the sauce has cooked you can always add more to taste. Lower heat and simmer at least an hour, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn. Chop up the fresh herbs and add at the end of cooking (they'll lose flavor if added too soon.)
