Serves: 3½ cups
Ingredients
  • 1 28 ounce can of imported San Marzano tomatoes
  • 6 anchovie fillets
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced in half
  • Large pinch of crushed red pepper
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of capers, drained and rinsed
  • 12 oil cured back olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 Tbs. Italian parsley leaves, chopped
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium sized heavy saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Using your hands, coarsely crush the San Marzano tomatoes.
  3. Once the oil is hot, turn the heat to medium and add the garlic halves, anchovies and crushed red pepper. Stir frequently using a wooden spoon or heat resistant spatula; the garlic will begin to sizzle and the anchovies will melt.
  4. Once the garlic become light golden in color, add the can of San Marzano tomatoes, including the liquid and stir.
  5. Bring the sauce to a simmer and continue to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring a few times. Add the capers and olives, simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. The sauce is now ready to use immediately or can be refrigerated to use within the next few days. Add the chopped parsley to the finished dish.
