Instructions: Heat olive oil in large Dutch oven. Add anchovies and stir together until oil and anchovies make a paste. Add the tomatoes, liquid and all. Break up the tomatoes and cook for 2 hours, then add the basil, oregano and half the garlic. Cook for 6 to 8 hours, adding a little water as needed. The sauce will become a dark, rich red. In the last half hour, add the remaining garlic, olives and capers. Cook for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Serve over pasta and pass grated Parmesan.

The editors wrote: "Anchovies, capers, olives and garlic result in a mysterious and wholly Italian taste experience that even anchovy haters tend to like.

This recipe was...the best of several on this theme. We would only suggest the possibility of adding the fresh herbs later in the cooking process."
