Most Italian sauces date back to the 1700s. This sauce is relatively new sometime around WWII. There is no clear history for this dish, but it’s theorized that the Italian Courtesans named it this to declare it peasant food. No matter where it comes from, I love the lightness and variety of flavors this dish has to offer.
