I’m not Italian but having lived with an Italian family for a few years, I became very fond of Italian cooking, especially the sauce that goes with pasta. Here is the way I make it. Please tell me if my recipe would meet with your satisfaction. Brown 2 pork chops in olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, add 2 cans crushed tomatoes, 1 can tomato sauce, 1 or 2 cans tomato paste, 2 bay leaves, 1 tsp sugar, maybe a pinch oregano. Cook slowly for a couple of hours. Sometimes I make bracioli (cubed steak rolled up with thin slices garlic and tied with thread) and brown this with chops. Mmmm. What would a few anchovies do?

    Sounds like a decent enough sauce. I do something similar – got it from my grandmother and mom. I wouldn’t cook the anchovies in the sauce….but as a nice side wrapped in meat and sauce over it. Now that’s Italian!

    The recipe is fine, the anchovies would enter the recipes with the olive oil and garlic (then anchovies) remember they are salty!!

    That is what I put in puttenesca sauce.

    The bracioli is also great, but I do these separate with a different sauce.

    Personally, I don’t like anchovies in the sauce due to the salty after taste. I usually will use it as a staple by sauteing it in Olive Oil and garlic, add breadcrumbs until crisp. Remove from heat and add a little Parmigiana, finely chopped parsley and spices that would compliment your dish.
