    Afner's Notes: I love tomato sauces with pasta. To me red sauce is the mother of all sauces. One day after trying it all: meatballs, ground meat, ham, shrimp, veggie, etc. I decided to give a try to something...

  2. When the onions are crystal like we add the mushrooms and the green bell pepper stripes. Then we add the Peanut Oil and the Almonds. Remove until the oil penetrates the ingredients. All this at medium heat.

  3. Add the chopped olives and the green beans. Remove a little more and then, add the tomato sauce. Remove enough to incorporate the ingredients to the sauce and then add the oregano, the sage and rosemary. Remove again and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, this will allow the spices and herbs to release their oils and provide a special flavor to the sauce. (if you want you can add a little bit of saffron as well)

  4. After the simmering, we will add in this order: The dry basil & sea salt. Remove and simmer another 5 minutes.Then add the red wine and the pinch of sugar, remove for another 3 minutes.

  6. Add the Smoked Oysters to the sauce and the cayenne pepper. Remove once again and turn off the heat. The remaining heat will allow the mix to blend and unify flavors.
