Espaguete à Puttanesca

Cultural Context

Originating from Naples, Puttanesca sauce is said to have been created by sex workers in the early 20th century, who needed a quick and flavorful meal. The dish is a testament to the resourcefulness of Italian cuisine, utilizing pantry staples like olives, capers, and tomatoes. Today, Puttanesca is celebrated worldwide for its bold flavors and simplicity, often enjoyed as a comforting weeknight dinner.
