Pasta alla Puttanesca "XXXVI"
Direct Translation: WHORE PASTA. Totally authentic, no kidding. There was a huge debate on how the name came about, some say the local prostitutes in Italy made it to serve their customers and others said it was referring to the easiness of making this dish. My opinion was the fact that the pasta was not only easy to make, but also a very enjoyable one as well, which i guess could best describe a whore in Italy(Jeeeee).
This is a fish and spice pasta in my opinion, it's got lotsa tuna in there with basil, capers, olives, chillies and stuff like that. So if you're a fish person, you'd probably love this one. It's a bit on the heavy side so what i'd love to do is to have it with a light wine like Sauvignon Blanc, really really enjoyable.
You can have this hot or cold. For the hot people, as in people who like it hot literally (don't go hating ya), you can add a little bit of pasta water to loosen so it goes down the throat warm and nice or if you like it cold, squeeze in some lemon juice to give it a little appetizer twang.
There are loads of different variations of making this, but i made mine with a touch of butter at the end to sorta blend everything up together. Google if you need recipe, cuz i swear there a shitload of em.
Hope you'll like it, ciao-la!
