The renowned streetwalker pasta of Naples, done my way. The cream cheese brings incredible richness to this dish, and serves as the perfect foil to the many salty ingredients.

- Add the garlic, basil, and sausage, cook until sausage is cooked through. Add the artichokes, olives, capers, tomato puree, diced tomatoes, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Simmer a few minutes. Cut the cream cheese into chunks and add to the sauce, stir until melted. Add the parsley and serve immediately over pasta.
- Serve as a one-dish meal, or offer a simple salad of greens and vinaigrette and some crusty bread. Of course you need chianti with this!
