Sicilian Sauce starts with tomato, then builds complexity with artichoke hearts and capers. Onion, basil, thyme, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and lime round out the profile. The result is savory, bright, and layered enough to become the center of the meal rather than disappear behind it.
Warm it for pasta, spoon it over cooked seafood or chicken, or use it to bring vegetables and grains together. Its artichoke and caper character makes it especially useful when you want a red sauce with more texture and contrast.
Serving Ideas
- Toss with pasta and finish with herbs or grated cheese if desired.
