If you mean with A the Q: well.....Gameknot database says the most common move after that Sicilian is Bc4, but my suggestion is to develop every piece quickly, so you can play not only Bc4, but even Nc3.
But the question is: why Qf3?

Revenge at Cap d’Agde: Ivanchuk Beats Nakamura — It took two years, but Vassily Ivanchuk got his revenge. Ivanchuk, a Ukrainian chess grandmaster, lost the final of the 2008 Cap d’Agde Rapid tournament to Hikaru Nakamura of the United States. Sunday, both players were again in the final and this time Ivanchuk won. Ivanchuk was definitely playing better even before the final. In his semifinal match against Bu Xiangzhi of China, Ivanchuk won both games, while Nakamura struggled against Le Quang Liem of Vietnam. Le Quang won the first game of the semifinal and Nakamura had to come back and win the second game to force a playoff. In the playoff, he won both games. The final games were entertaining and a bit strange. In the first, Ivanchuk, who ...

Play against this like you would any open Sicilian.
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4
Moves like 3. Bc4 can be ok, but why would you move that bishop there now? Black just closed off that diagonal, so the bishop is basically useless there.
Or, if you normally play closed Sicilians, play that here too. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. Nc3 and so on.
I would suggest checking out any database of games between top players. This move isn't unheard of and there are many paths that can be taken after the first several moves.

Chess World of Karpov and Kasparov — Standing next to each other, side by side, Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov made a last minute effort to sway the FIDE elections their way. One day before the vote, during the press conference in the Siberian town of Khanty-Mansyisk, they were trying to explain how they will change the chess world. Karpov was running for the FIDE presidency and Kasparov supported him. They still had a small chance to win. In the last six month they criscrossed the world, talking about the wonderful game of chess and what could be done to make it more popular. The next day, Sept. 29, the FIDE delegates re-elected Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, who promptly announced that he defeated two world chess champions. What ...

Play online chess | 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6
Message:
These games end to be rather different from more common sicilain openings
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 or 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6. Best bet is to use the database and learn the opening lines that way if your not sure what to do, but 3. d4 is certainly the best third move.

Plenty of Fighting Spirit on Final Day of Pearl Spring — Magnus Carlsen of Norway had already clinched first place at the Pearl Spring chess tournament in Nanjing, China, but there was still a lot to play for, so all the games on the final day were hard-fought and two of them were decisive. The most important game of the day, in terms of the standings and the prize money, was between Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Etienne Bacrot of France. They were tied for second place. Anand had White and opened with his d pawn. Bacrot used the Nimo-Indian Defense and achieved a solid position out of the opening, though Anand had the bishop pair — a potentially long-term advantage. Bacrot began to play loosely, opening up his ...

Chess: Magnus Carlsen snaps slump in China — Magnus Carlsen defeated three elite chess grandmasters to take the lead in the Pearl Spring double round robin in Nanjing, China. The Norwegian chess star scored 5-2 in the first seven rounds of the 10-game tournament. Carlsen had fallen to second in the world chess rankings because of poor performances in two recent events, but he has regained an estimated eight of the 24 rating points he lost. World chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India and French grandmaster Etienne Bacrot were Carlsen's closest rivals, with scores of 4-3. Bacrot upset Anand in the first cycle but lost the rematch. Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, who has not completely recovered from losing the 2010 world championship match against ...

Play online chess | One very interesting line
Message:
for WT to venture is after 3.d4 cd 4.Nd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bb4!? 5.e5!? and then Black usually responds with 5...Ne4 or 5...Nd5 after which 6.Qg4 makes a very interesting tactical game.
Or WT can play more conventionally vs the Bb4 with something like 5.Bd3 . Personally I don't "Like" to allow pawn doubling by ....BxNc3+ which can follow that, but objectively it seems alright since WT will have the Bishop pair and activity, plus the absence of BL's Kings Bishop to compensate him for the doubling. Not something I'd swear to, having not played it in a serious game, but gotten good play in skittles or blitz. Often a bit drawish in mine. (Of course the 5.e5 line seems not drawish at all ! :)

Nakamura Poised to Defend Title at Cap d’Agde — Hikaru Nakamura of the United States has worked his way into the world’s chess elite (he is ranked No. 15), but as good as he is at slow chess, his real forte is at faster time controls. He is generally considered to be among the top three or four in the world at blitz chess (where each player has five minutes or less for the entire game) and he also seems to be among the world’s best at rapid chess, in which each player has about 25 minutes per game. Two years ago, he won the Cap d’Agde Rapid chess tournament in France in a field that included Magnus Carlsen of Norway (now No. 1 in the world), Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine (who Nakamura beat in the finals) and Anatoly Karpov of Russia, the former ...

Play online chess | my ideas?
Message:
After 3. cxd4 4. Nxd4 two regular fourth moves for black are 4. a6 or 4. Nf6. So what should you do after each of these???
4. a6. This variation immediately controls the b5 square (preventing Nb5 for white, a good move in some variations) and prepare a future advance of b5, which allows black to develop their white squared bishop at b7 and/or put pressure on whites kingside with b4. So although 4. a6 looks passive, it’s pretty good in the long run. White’s best responses are 5. Nc3 or 5. Bd3. After 5. Nc3 black would like to play Nf6 but it’s not very good because 6. e5 Nd5 7. Nxd5 damages blacks pawn structure. So black will play a move that prevents 6. e5, the best of which is Qc7 (on c7 the queen can help blacks plan to put pressure on the queenside) and then they can play 6. Nf6. If black does this white’s best sixth move is Bd3, which guards the e pawn against pressure posed by blacks potential b5 and Bb7.
If white chooses to play 5. Bd3 instead of 5. Nc3, this immediately protects the e pawn against the threats discussed above, and with no knight to threaten on c3 the value of a black pawn push of b5 and b4 is reduced. So 5. Bd3 may be slightly better than 5. Nc3.
4. Nf6. Clearly 5. Nc3 is best here to protect the e pawn. Black may then play 5.Nc6, then 6. Ndb5 takes the game out of 2. e6 waters and into 2. Nc6 waters. Since you’ve little experience against 2. e6, this transformation into a different sort of Sicilian game will probably be useful for you.
Black may also play 5. d6, when 6. Be3 is a solid developing move, or 6. e4 immediately aims to attack blacks kingside, where he’ll likely castle later. It’s good to play both these moves at some point, and either one is sound to play first on move 6.
I’d love to write more, but this article’s already too long, so I have to stop…
