["I prefer fresh herbs if I can get them; but, like fresh tomatoes they may not be available in late December. Once I've made the sauce I can use it for any of the dishes-baccala, stuffed calamari, linguine with clams, and so on. (and at regular meals, I love it with extra red pepper flakes and a pork loin slow cooked for a couple of hours and then poured over pasta-nothing better!).", "", "Heeat oil on medium or low heat in skillet. Add minced garlic to oil and cook until the garlic is soft and clear-do not let it burn. add two cans of sauce to the pan. Rinse and mince the anchovies and add to sauce. Add a pinch of sugar. Then add salt and pepper and hot pepper flakes-this is a \"feel\"" thing. Don't go crazy at first-after the sauce has cooked you can always add more to taste. Lower heat and simmer at least an hour
