The dish has an intresting history - that might be urban legend might be turth... Some says it has aphrodisiac properties. but supposedly this is the dish that the hookers in areas of italy would cook and the intoxicating smell of the garlic and other ingredients would entice 'customers' to their door

The story is not apocryphal, it is fact. "Puttanesca" in Italian means "In the style of the prostitute". When I make this I use fresh tuna (because my family won't eat anchovies) and fresh tomatoes (to reduce sodium intake). Plum tomatoes are best; you need about two pounds. Thanks for sharing! - 2/9/09
