"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
This is a flavorful and satisfying dish. Just a note of heat from the red pepper flakes and the fresh herbs seal the deal. Do make the effort to find San Marzano Tomatoes, a little more expensive but worth it their flavor says it all.
