Description:
Puttanesca is a classic sauce made with tomatoes, capers, olives, and anchovies served with spaghettis. In Italian, a puttana is a lady of the night. It is said that its quick preparation made this dish popular as a fast snack between clients. Today it is found throughout Italy, although it is particularly popular in Rome . |

Preparation:
In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil until hot. Add the onion, garlic and chili. Fry gently for about 6 minutes or until the onion is soft. Add the anchovies and cook until well mixed.
Add the peepers, tomatoes, oregano, olives and capers and bring to a simmer for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain, toss well with the sauce and serve at once in individual serving bowls. |

Notes:
Did you know? Italian cooks love basil and this easy-to-grow herb is used generously in their sauces. In Italy this plant is a symbol of love; a sprig of it presented to your lover bespeaks fidelity. When a woman puts a pot of basil on the balcony outside her room, it means that she is ready to receive her suitor. |
