Lose the breadcrumbs, add garlic, capers and black olives and you pretty much have puttanesca, which is delicious. Serve with warm Italian bread and a salad and oh, baby!

Puttanesca, my favorite dish! Whenever I'm at an Italian restaurant it's the first thing I look for.

FYI, "Puttanesca" translates as “in the style of the whore.” The name derives from the Italian word puttana which means whore. The story goes it's the dish that the ladies of the evening would throw together for their clients.

Yep, I learned that living in Napoli as a Navy brat “tween” (age 11-14.) It was supposedly created from things everyone tended to have in their kitchens. I rarely see it on restaurant menus but it’s so easy to make.
