27 across  with a tomato-based sauce

a  la  -o -g -i -e

Also, 19 down  Is parroty actually a word?

Thanks folks.

[donslot]

Not sure about all your letters but Alle Vongole or a derivative may hit the mark. See below.

 Also Parroty has no parity with Collins English Dictionary or Oxford English (yet).

Sorry donslot - two volume Oxford Dictionary has `parroty` - resembling or characteristic of a parrot.

[boaw]

a la portugaise -_Schott`s Food and Drink.

Thanks donslot and boaw.  You have solved both questions for me.

In my all too frequent bull-at-a-gate manner I had  missed out two spaces.

My query should have read:  a  la  - o - t - g - i - e

and so a la portugaise is a perfect fit
