Human Analysis Required

I just played this game on chess.com. I played as white. I believe this is the first win against the Sicilian. If you played e4 c5 Ne2... upload your games. And could you analyse the game please? Looking for improvements... Thank you.
You are playing the closed Sicilian system. Spassky make this system famous, and you should review his games.
Just two thoughts not mentioned by the computer. On the tenth move you recaptured with the Bishop. My first thought was to capture with the pawn to maintain control of e5, like seen in King's Indian openings. The second thought would to capture with the Knight to occupy the square d5. The latter thought is weak as a piece can not be maintained on d5. On move 11, d4 just seems weak as it weakens and isolates e4. One of the correct plans is to double the Rooks on the f file, using this pressure and a Knight posted on f5 to create a kingside attack. Since Black's pieces are huddles behind his small center, he has little resources to fend off the attack or create a successful counter-attack.

jonesmh, thank you so much for analysing the game. When I have a similar posistion like this, I will take it with the pawn and build attack on the f file
