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.
