PUTTANESCA: THE
BEST SPAGHETTI FOR
A NIGHT IN
(SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC,
ANCHOVIES, CAPERS, AND
OLIVES)
Another classic based on a simple marinara sauce,
puttanesca is a spicy, briny, salty dish named after the
Italian prostitutes who ate it—or served it, or one of those
things. It’s perfect for those romantic winter nights spent
in when there’s no danger of anyone else besides your
spouse, and perhaps the dog, smelling your breath. Add
some good-quality tuna canned in olive oil (not the water-
packed kind) for a complete meal.
