Linguine Puttanesca


Thursday 24 January
We are great fans of "Nadia G's Bitchin' Kitchen."  We love her clothes, her jewelry, her dolls' heads decor, her odd friends, and her southern Italian dialect.  Her cooking is a mite Canadian for being that Italian, but there's nothing wrong with a little maple syrup essence.
Her story of how spaghetti puttanesca was invented - that the postwar Italian parliament passed a law that prostitutes couldn't do their marketing in the daytime, lest they meet the wives of the men they were sleeping with, was, like all such stories, ingenious and without basis.  But we don't care how, or when, it was invented.  It's quick, it's bright, and we like it a lot - sort of like Miss G. herself.
