Author Notes

I adapted Marcella Hazan's Tomato Sauce with Onion & Butter by omitting the onion and infusing the tomato sauce with anchovies instead. I love using anchovies to add depth and flavor to dishes, especially sauces.
I also replaced the butter with cream, reducing it so it becomes nice and thick.
This is a quick and easy recipe, I like the taste and texture.
Besides pasta, you could spoon this sauce over grilled eggplant for a gluten free alternative.
