This is also known as “whore’s pasta” and comes from Naples where it is named after the local women of easy virtue. The ingredients are just as easy to put your hands on. Don’t be fooled by the origins of the name, this is a very robust and satisfying meal. Or it does work well as a side dipping sauce too.

  4. Cook the pasta according to directions drain and put the sauce in the bottom of the pot. Now add back the hot pasta, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and parsley. Combine and dish to serve.
