* Note: See the "Basic Tomato Sauce" recipe which is included in this collection. In a 12- to 14-inch sauté pan, heat oil until smoking. Add jalapenos, almonds and onions and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add white wine and tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Add anchovies and return to boil. Lower heat to simmer and cook through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Pour into warm bowl, sprinkle with scallions, basil and mint and serve with grilled bread drizzled with good oil.
