Home Again

Hi All,

Home again, so good. I wanted to tell you about my last night in Alabama. my friend Vic is from New York and Italian, he often makes his Italian feast for special guests, we were lucky to enjoy it on Suday night. He makes a very rich, tomato gravy (sauce), adds some Italian sausage and simmers it all together. Excellent, it's rich and spicy. He also makes a bread/pasta sauce. Which is the first recipe I'd like to share with you. Because I can no longer eat acidic foods, including tomatoes, Vic provided this amazing sauce for my pasta. It was also a perfect compliment to the toasted french bread.

Olive Oil & Anchovy sauce

1 can anchovies (optional, if you can't stand anchovies, too bad though)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbs. minced garlic
1 Tbs. basil flakes

Mix olive oil, garlic, basil and oregano in a small fry pan. Simmer for 5 minutes on low heat.
Cut anchovies into small pieces and add to fry pan. Simmer for 2 minutes on medium heat.

Use your favorite pasta. Remove from heat and serve.


I'm still packing and getting back on schedule. I will be posting many recipes in the future. I cook for my family every night and feel it's important for families to come back to the dinner table, enjoy the meal and your loved ones. I also know how busy everyone is today and every day, I hope I can provide some easy and delicious meals to share. Another recipe tomorrow. COOK ON......
