Notes

"...The story of puttanesca sauce is derived from the ladies of the night in Naples, Italy.  It is told that these women had to throw whatever was handy, quick, or leftover in a dish to eat quickly between customers. This marriage of the prince of fish to the ladies of the night is perfect!"  -Harbor Fish Market cookbook
