Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Chop the tomatoes fine (I use petite diced) reserving the juice.
  2. Add butter or olive oil to a large saucepan along with the onion and garlic. Heat slowly, stirring often. You want the onion to be soft but don't let it get brown.
  3. Add the tomatoes with their juices, the tomato paste, the bay leaf and the oregano.
  4. Simmer for 30 minutes or until the sauce is thick.
  5. Chop the anchovies fine and add to the sauce.
  6. Simmer 5 minutes.
  7. Add the cheese, mixing well.
  8. Add salt, pepper and sugar to taste. Be careful not to over salt as the anchovies and cheese may be salty enough.
  9. Remove the bay leaf.
  10. Use to top a pound of cooked spaghetti or your favorite pasta.
