Puttanesca roughly translates to “lady of the night”. Legend says that this aromatic quick Italian pasta sauce was created as a way to lure potential “customers” 😘 as they followed the scent into the alley ways of Naples and into the waiting arms of the ladies.
Made using pantry staples of tinned tomatoes, olive oil, pasta, capers, anchovies and a dash of chilli or not, then finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, black pepper and lemon zest. This quick Italian pasta sauce is ready in the time it takes to boil then cook your pasta!
