The Salsa del Papa, known as the Pope’s sauce but unrelated to the Vatican, is a loose marinara similar to Puttanesca sauce published by Pellegrino Artusi, the famous literary critic.
An early version of Puttanesca Sauce, this salty marinara style sauce was introduced by Antonia Isola’s Simple Italian Cookery, one of the first Italian cooking books printed in English.
Puttanesca sauce has often been suggested as a pasta prepared by prostitutes, although there is little truth to this particular legend.
Ada Boni collected regional recipes from around Italy in an early 20th century recipe collection that continues to be updated today, and remains a popular gift for weddings.
