    "Alla puttanesca" is an Italian method for preparing pasta (sauce). Typical ingredients are green and black olives, anchovies, sardines and basil. A cook in South Italy "invented" it by using leftovers from his kitchen. Similarly, I used leftovers from my kitchen for this special style puttanesca.

    Ingredients
      

    • 200 gram linguine
    • 5 tomatoes medium sized
    • 100 gram bacon strips
    • 1 onion yellow
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 15 black olives
    • 2 teaspoons capers small ones
    • 1 chili pepper
    • seasoning salt, ginger powder, ras el hanout
    • cream a dash
    • Parmezan grated, for garnishing

    Instructions
     

    • Cut the tomatoes, onion, chili pepper, garlic and sundried tomatoes into small pieces. Halve the black olives.
    • Cook the linguine according to the instructions on the packaging
    • Heat some olive oil in a pan and bake the onion, garlic and chili pepper for a few minutes.
    • Then add the bacon strips and mix everything well.
    • After one more minute, add the tomatoes. Put a lid on them until they are well heated and starting to cook.
    • Then add the caper, sundried tomatoes and halved olives.
    • Season the sauce as you like.
    • If everything is cooking well you can remove the lid. This way the sauce can reduce.
    • Just before finishing, add a dash of cream.
    • Then serve the pasta and the sauce on plates and finish with grated Parmezan.

    Notes

    You can do the seasoning according to your own taste. If you don't have ras el hangout at home, never mind. Just use some pepper or an Italian spice mix you might have at home.
    The sauce is already quite tasty, even without adding a lot of spices. The bacon strips, sun-dried tomatoes and caper make it very tasty on their own.

    About "alla puttanesca"

    The pasta sauce "alla puttanesca" was probably created by a desperate cook in Ischia, a volcanic island in the region of Naples. Somewhere in the 1950s he had some hungry customers late at night. He was more or less sold out, but they insisted. Asking him to throw together anything he still had in the kitchen (Facci una puttanata qualsiasi). Using some swearing words (putta = whore).

    So he made a sauce with some leftover olives, capers and anchovies. This tasted so well that his hungry guests also wanted it the next day. So it got on the regular menu. He named it after the swearing words used, and it referred a bit to the night club next to his restaurant also. Source: Wikipedia.
