toss gently to combine. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve hot.

" The name of this piquant sauce means 'streetwalker style', supposedly because

ladies of the evening often prepared it at the end of a long night's work.

Flavorful Gaeta olives are available in Italian markets and well-stocked

supermarkets and are especially good in this sauce. If unavailable, substitute

another high-quality olive. "
