If you love foods with extreme flavor then you will love this sauce!… serve on cooked pasta

I strongly recommend to make this sauce a day or up to 3 days ahead and refrigerate, the flavors will blend and intensify, make this as spicy as you like by adjusting amount of chili flakes

Servings 6-8

INGREDIENTS:

olive oil

1 medium onion chopped

6 large garlic cloves, minced

1/2 teaspoon crushed chili flakes, or adjust to taste

3 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)

1/4 cup tomato paste

1/2 cup dry red wine

2 (28 ounce) cans cans Italian diced tomatoes, undrained

1/3 cup chopped pitted green olives

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1  tablespoon capers

2 teaspoons anchovy paste

1 teaspoon sugar, or as needed

salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:———————————–

Heat oil in a saucepan or large skillet over medium-high heat using enough oil to coat the bottom of your saucepan.

Add onion and saute for about 3-4 minutes or until softened.

Add in garlic, chili flakes, dried basil and Italian seasoning; cook stirring for 2 minutes.

Add in tomato paste; stir and cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

Add in wine; stir for 2 minutes, then add in both cans of diced tomatoes with their juice; bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Cook uncovered over low heat for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until the sauce has thickened and some of the juice from the canned tomatoes has reduced.
