Preparation:

* Note: See the "Basic Tomato Sauce" recipe which is included in this collection. In a large casserole heat 4 tablespoons virgin olive oil over moderate heat. Add celery, sliced garlic, onion, pepper flakes, and rosemary and cook until translucent (about 6 to 8 minutes). Add Basic Tomato Sauce, wine and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add fish and cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and reduce heat and simmer until shellfish have opened (5 to 6 minutes). Toast bread and while still hot, rub with garlic. Place one slice in each of 4 bowls. Divide fish first, then the broth among bowls and sprinkle heavily with parsley. Serve immediately.
