Spaghetti sauce
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
1 15oz can petite dice tomatoes
1 6oz can tomato paste
1.5 tsp dried basil
1.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried marjoram
2 tsp ancho chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp dried pepper flakes
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt (test for more, later)
2 tsp anchovy paste (& omit salt)
Combine all in 2-qt saucepan. Bring to simmer, simmer until reduced and thick enough for your purposes (dipping, pasta, pizza, etc.), stirring occasionally. Cover with splatter screen, as the bubbling of the thick mixture makes a mess. Taste and adjust as necessary. Be careful on the peppers - there's a lot here, and it can become the dominant taste. If the sauce becomes too spicy, add parm-reg cheese a tablespoon at a time, stirring until completely blended. The cheese will tone down the pepper somewhat, but add to the saltiness.
