A Tuscan pet ruined pasta sauce (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

puttanesca

'pasta sauce' is the definition.
(I know that puttanesca is a type of pasta sauce)

'a tuscan pet ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'tuscan'+'pet'='atuscanpet'
'atuscanpet' with letters rearranged gives 'PUTTANESCA'.

(Another definition for puttanesca that I've seen is " Preparation for an Italian".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
