Easy Pasta Puttanesca image

Pasta Puttanesca literally means "Harlot's Pasta". This zippy, mildly spicy sauce was made by the ladies of the night in Italy after a day's work. Use whatever noodle style your family enjoys, but I recommend traditional linguine or penne. This dish is extremely adaptable to your own taste. Try adding peppers or Italian sausage for a different flavor.
