Pasta in purgatory from Chasing the Gator: Isaac Toups and the New Cajun Cooking (page 222) by Isaac Toups and Jennifer V. Cole

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This recipe requires another recipe, Isaacs Pickled Paste of Pain to be made first. Then you make the Purgatory Sauce adding a couple of tsp of the pepper paste. You can then use the Purgatory Sauce as a pasta sauce or to poach eggs in, or like I did as a Chili Base (1lb lean ground beef, 1c chicken stock and 2 cups sauce, simmer 45 mins) or just serve the sauce over pasta. Versatile recipe! Love the different suggestions on how to use it. I love that Isaac does this with his recipes. Here is the base recipe here are some riffs…. ok … go!
