the pasta of prostitutes
Recipe #9 is penne puttanesca - a pasta dish involving huge amounts of anchovies, olives, and chilli flakes. (And believe me, it really is a HUGE amount of chilli flakes. MY MOUTH IS ON FIRE.)
According to my recipe book, this dish was a favourite of Roman prostitutes. They'd prepare it quickly between clients, and use the "robust scent and hearty flavour" to attract new customers.
I have no current plans to start up a brothel, but if I ever do I'll certainly bear this dinner in mind...
