Dear beec,
There can be no doubt that what you are looking for is "Pasta
Puttanesca", which means exactly "Whore's Pasta". It is actually an
Italian dish, not a Russian one. But this is not surprising, since
Russia is really not known for pasta.
"Puttanesca" is the name of a special sauce pasta is served with; but
it is also used for shrimps and other seafood. Here is a typical
recipe for Pasta Puttanesca:
--
PASTA PUTTANESCA for 4 hungry people
Sizzle 6 cloves of sliced garlic (more if you wish) and one yellow
onion in a generous amount of olive oil (4-6 oz) until they begin to
crisp.
Add 4 oz capers, one handful sliced kalamata olives, and 4-6 oz of
mushrooms. Be careful of splatter, and stir together.
Add 8-12 oz of tomato paste and 1 oz (half a tube) of anchovy paste
Slice a handful of sundried tomatoes into strips and stir in.
Add about 4 oz red wine and1-2 oz balsamic vinegar
Next stir in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of dried chile pepper and a pinch of
oregano.
Simmer for about 20 minutes, adding stingy amounts of wine or water to
maintain saucy consistency. Toward the end, add a generous handful of
fresh basil (dried flakes are better than no basil), and keep warm
while you boil the pasta.
Boil a pound of Fusilli pasta (12 minutes, roughly) with some salt,
black pepper, and dollop of olive oil in the pot. Your vigilance to
catch the perfect al dente will earn praise from your audience.
Mix it all together, sprinkle liberally with Parmesan, and feast.
