You could start with 2.Nf3, then choose Anti-Sicilians on move 3 that will annoy many Black players:

2...Nc6 3.Bb5
2...d6 3.Bb5+ or 3.c3 
2...e6 3.c3 or 3.d3
2...g6 maybe 3.d4 cxd4 4.Qxd4

Of these maybe only the Rossolimo 2...Nc6 3.Bb5 and 2...e6 3.c3 are serious tries for advantage. But when you go 2.Nf3 you can "rebuild the ship at sea" and switch to the Open Sicilian gradually, one 2nd move at a time.

There's also a brand new 2.Nf3 Anti-Sicilian repertoire book for White by Gawain Jones, that could be used for this purpose:

I am trying to build a repertoire with 1.e4. Eventually I will go with the open sicilian but I want to begin with something I can study without so much theory. I am considering: Close Sicilian, Rossolimo and 2.c3. Which one do tou consider the best?
