Ingredients

DESCRIPTION

This sauce is named for ladies of the night. They would place pots of it in their windows to tempt men into the bordellos. I like it because it's spicy, fast and easy (no disrespect to the ladies).



INGREDIENTS

  • Oil cured black olives, for garnish, optional
  • 4 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 1 bundle) watercress leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 20 oil-cured black olives, cracked away from pit and coarsely chopped
  • 1 /2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Crusty bread, for mopping
  • 1/4 cup (a couple of handfuls) flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 pound spaghetti, cooked to al dente (with a bite)
  • 4 cups (about 2 bundles) arugula leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 1 tin flat anchovy fillets, drained
  • Grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Romano, for passing, optional
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, to coat, 2 to 3 tablespoons
  • 1 large lemon
  • Coarse salt and black pepper
  • 1 head Radicchio lettuce, coarsely chopped
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • A few grinds black pepper
  • 1 (32-ounce) can chunky style crushed tomatoes
