Hi . 
few days ago i wrote  a post on meatballs .http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/meatballs-with-penne-rigate_topic3439.html and Margi asked for my Marinara Sauce . i use this sauce as a base for most of my Italian dishes .
add to the sauce olives  and chilis   and  you got a great puttanesca sauce.
add to it seafood and you have a great cioppino .
 thicken the sauce and  use it on a pizza .
 this is my way to do Marinara .

1 onion .
5 cloves of garlic .
3 anchovies .
1 tin of palm tomatoes  (500 gm).
1 tin of tomatoes paste  ( 50 gm ).
black pepper ,oregano, thyme ,basil   .
1/2 tabs sugar.
olive oil .
3 cups of water .
no salt  the anchovies are salty. 

chop the onion and fry on Medium heat ,
add the anchovies and the chopped garlic .
let it Absorb  the flavours ,add the  rest of the ingredients .
simmer for 2 hours till it will get to the thickens you like .




give it a try

Ahron - that is really, really nice-looking marinara, and very similar to my recipe! Like you, I also use anchovies in my marinara, and I think that they provide exactly the right SOMETHING to really make a good sauce - definitely something that everyone should try....
 
Beautiful stuff, especially with those meatballs! Now I'm hungering for meatball sandwiches covered with marinara ~~ Tongue

Aron,

Thank you so much ... Definitely am going to prepare this in batches, so we have quick pasta meals.

I normally use fresh over ripe mature juicy red tomatoes, however, I asked the Vet if he would pick up some ITALIAN EXPORTED TOMATOES for me ... I have lots of tomato paste and I am an anchovy fanatic; thus --- always a staple in the " pantry " ... 

Hoser´s PUTTANESCA is on menu for Tomorrow as I am in midst of another editorial deadline, covering the SALONS GOURMETS GASTRONOMIC TRADE FAIR HERE IN MADRID CAPITAL FOR THE LAST 4 DAYS  ... IT HAD ENDED TODAY ... JUST AN HOUR AGO.

The color is gorgeous !!! and texture, as I do not like a " thin light sauce " --- I love a thick rich, tomato sauce ... LOOKS FAB. 

SHALL SNAP A FEW FOTOS TOO ... THANKS AGAIN ARON. APPRECIATE IT GREATLY. 

Thanks again, Aron.

Tas,

Aron´s  Marinara Surely Looks Marvelous and what I like most, the ease and simplicity ... Handshake

Kindest.

Aron and Tas,
 
The whole apartment has aromas of home made tomato sauce ...
 
Memories of my paternal Nonna ( grandmom ) and her trattoria ...
 
 
We are going to enjoy it for lunch tomorrow, and I shall post some fotos ...
 
All my best.
Margaux.
