Description
Spaghetti alla Puttanesca can be roughly translated as 'spaghetti with a kick.' There are many stories about its origin, from wise women who created the dish to attract customers to a chef who accidentally threw together a sauce with whatever ingredients were available, as often happens. This is a great option when classic pasta with tomato sauce feels too familiar, and you want to achieve a bolder flavor. Don't skimp on the capers, garlic, or anchovies with olives—the sauce should be very rich to thoroughly coat the pasta.
