Meatsauce, one of the simplest dishes around, but do you ever think of throwing in the kitchen sink with it? Once I sauté down all of my onions, GARLIC (and more GARLIC), celery, bell peppers, parsley and a bit more parsley all, of course in olive oil, I then start to brown my meat. Once the meat is nice and brown, that's when I start to think about what on earth else I can throw in there, so it's onto the pantry for a looksee and low and behold what did I find that day? Some artichoke hearts, black olives, green olives, capers, and a few anchovies!!! Yes people ANCHOVIES!!!! Don't say BLAH....anchovies add a wonderful salty flavor, nothing fishy about it. If you ever eat at my house there will always be anchovies hidden in something or other....
Once I found all of my pantry leftovers, now I'm kicking!!!...Throw all of those yummies in that pot, let it marry with the sauce for a while, it's cooked already, so the longer you let it hang around in there the better it's flavor!
Now what do you do with the meat sauce? Well that depends! Pasta....polenta....in a bowl with some crusty rustic bread....pile on the cheese and enjoy it with anything your heart desires!
Happy cooking!!!!
Buon Appetito!
