APRIL 1/DINNER
I made a Sicilian Sauce and served it over Homemade Spinach Garganelli . This sauce can also be made way ahead and frozen. Freeze flat in a gallon-size plastic food storage bag or small sandwich-size bags for smaller servings. Sicilian Sauce 1/4 cup EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) 6 to 8 anchovy fillets 1 red Fresno chile or Italian red cherry pepper, seeded and finely chopped 6 cloves garlic , finely chopped 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 cup red wine 1 (28- or 32-ounce) can San Marzano tomatoes (look for DOP on the label) 8 to 10 torn fresh basil leaves In a large skillet, heat the EVOO (4 turns of the pan) over medium heat.
Add the anchovies, cover the pan with a splatter screen or lid, and shake until the anchovies begin to break up. Reduce the heat a bit, uncover, and stir until the anchovies melt into the oil. Add the chile, garlic, and oregano. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and let it cook out for a minute before deglazing the pan with the red wine. Add the tomatoes and basil.
