(CUL10626) PUTTANESCA PASTA-A TRIBUTE TO THE LADIES OF THE EVENING

Puttanesca pasta has several competing origin stories-whether it began in Rome or Naples, in a home kitchen, a restaurant, or even a bordello-but its history remains deliciously debated. What most people agree on is that the name references the Ladies of the Evening and that, when properly prepared, Puttanesca pasta is absolutely irresistible.
