linguine alla romana

/lee-GWEE-neh ahl-lah roh-MAH-nah/
[Italian]

"Linguine in the style of Rome." I have seen various descriptions of this. Linguine alla romana in the US is likely to be linguine with a sauce containing chicken. In Rome the sauce is more likely to contain puntarelle, butter beans (US: navy beans), garlic, with salted anchovies to give it a savoury hit. Mind you, I have also seen descriptions of this as a sauce with shellfish such as crab.
