    Linguini alla puttanesca
    Linguini alla puttanesca

    Linguini alla puttanesca is variation on a South Italian dish that was created more or less by accident in the 1950s in the restaurant annex night club Sancho Fellone. At one day, some late guests were arriving with great hunger. The owner had nothing really left in his kitchen, except some anchovies, olives and a few tomatoes. He made a great sauce of it and served it with pasta. It tasted so delicious that the guests came back in the next days and only wanted this "alla puttanesca". After that, word of mouth started doing its work and it became a famous and easy Italian dish.

    Somehow it is quite similar to the Sicilian tuna pasta that was published a few weeks ago. It is the same region, the same simplicity and above all, the same great taste.
