Healthy Serving:
Spicy Tomato Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 2 t olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 t dried red pepper flakes
  • 2 oz. can anchovies fillets, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes (about 2.5 cups tomatoes)
  • 10 olives, chopped
  • 1 Tbs. grated parmesan/romano cheese

Mince garlic. Heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to med-low and cook until garlic is golden (about 3-4 minutes). You can remove the garlic at this point, if you like.

Add the anchovies and stir into the oil. Cook over the med-low heat about 3-4 minutes or until anchovies resemble a paste. Reduce heat to low. Add the tomatoes. At this point, you can either just heat through (about 3-4 minutes) or you can leave tosimmer about 20 minutes. The extra time will let the flavors simmer together.

Add cheese just before serving. This can be made a day in advance and it can be frozen.
