FAST TOMATO SAUCE WITH ANCHOVIES
Despite their reputation, anchovies are not overpowering, at least once cooked. Used with garlic as the start of a fast pasta sauce, they dissolve almost instantly and add a mysteriously meaty complexity that makes the sauce seem as if it had simmered for hours. Tossed with linguine and arugula, they make a simple dish sophisticated. If you're feeding a crowd, it doubles or triples beautifully.

Steps:
- Put the olive oil in a deep skillet, and turn the heat to medium. A minute later, add the garlic and the anchovies, and stir. When the garlic sizzles and the anchovies break up, add the tomatoes.
- Turn heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture becomes saucy, about 15 minutes. Season to taste, and serve with spaghetti or other long pasta. Grated pecorino Romano cheese goes well with this sauce.

ANCHOVY SAUCE
Obviously not a sauce for everyone. But in Liguria, where it seems people eat anchovies daily, it's popular. An incredibly easy sauce to spice up grilled chicken or fish-swordfish, for example-whether hot or cold.

Steps:
- Put the garlic in a small saucepan with the oil and/or anchovy oil; turn the heat to medium-low and cook just until the garlic begins to color. Add the anchovies and stir; cook for a minute over low heat.
- Add the vinegar, raise the heat to medium, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the tomato and cook until the sauce separates, about 10 minutes. Season, place in a bowl, and whisk with a fork for a minute or so. Serve hot or at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to a couple of days; rewarm before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh, high-quality anchovies. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce.
- Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil will help to emulsify the sauce and give it a smooth, creamy texture.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add herbs, spices, or even citrus zest to the sauce to create different flavor profiles.
- Serve the sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Anchovy sauce with cream and oil is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, fish, chicken, and vegetables. It is also a great addition to sandwiches and wraps. With its creamy texture and rich, savory flavor, anchovy sauce with cream and oil is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
