Add shank and return to boil. Lower heat to simmer, cover tightly and simmer 2 hours, or bake at 350 degrees F for same amount of time, or until fork tender. Remove and serve with broccoli or spinach. Garnish with anchovy fillets.

Bring to a boil, lower the heat to just bubbling, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately, or set aside for further use. The sauce may be refrigerated for up to one week or frozen for up to 6 months.
