Romans used to have fish sauce with everything, it was their tomato sauce and it was produced by the ton in cement vats.
Anchovies are in many ways a poor second, if you've got fish sauce you should use it in Italian food.

White onions are bad, instead use green/challotes or wild onions. Don't think of red onions as Spanish, that's like thinking potatoes are Irish.

I fried the meatballs in the bacon fat, cooked the onions and peppers and then added passata/ tomato paste.

Very important to finish the pasta in the pan, it improves the texture and thickens the sauce. I used to use the wok but cast iron works better, keeps the pasta hot.

Executive serves will be available at the commune for $5.50.
