Tried a new sauce recipe today… and I came across a few issues. So my supermarket ran out of sweet basil and I had to settle for basil, no idea what variety it is, but it did smell like sweet basil. However, there was too much anise and licorice aroma, really off putting.

I've never had basil this bad, but I guess today I learn that you should judge basil by taste, not smell. Also, what would you guys add to pomodoro sauce to make it more savory?

    I occasionally use a few anchovies filets for some extra flavor
