The whole wheat pasta alla puttanesca is a typical first course of Italian cuisine linked to the Neapolitan tradition, of which there is also a Roman version.
For the preparation of my light puttanesca sauce I used:
• tomato sauce [instead of fresh tomato + concentrate] for a more digestible and lighter result;
and added:
• black olives;
• capers;
• anchovies.
It is a spicy and lively condiment, thick and tasty.
Excellent on spaghetti, try it on fish steaks [from swordfish to salmon to tuna].
It seems that the name is linked to a brothel where the dish would have been born or from which it would have taken inspiration.
