Per quanto ne so, nascono a Napoli e furono preparati per la prima volta per il grande Totò dopo una rappresentazione teatrale. Il nome originario, infatti era spaghetti alla "Malafemmena".

Terry, ti ringrazio per l'attenzione prestatami. Sono d'accordissimo: c'è ancora molto lavoro da fare! Seguirò con enstusiamo i commenti dei tuoi lettori. Buon lavoro e a presto, Jeremy

This thread is fascinating since sugo all puttanesca is one of my favorite condiments for pasta. Being Sicilian, I am hoping that Dr J's research confirms the Siracusan origin. We usually make sugo alla puttanesca senza le acciughe. Though the last time I made it I used le acciughe bianco from Sciacca, Sicily. K, who doesn't cotton to le acciughe, didn't know they were in here. In some Sicilian restaurants, fresh white anchovies in olive oil are part of the buffeta rustica. I had never had them before and I couldn't get enough of them. Don't get me started on the food there.

I'm hoping a Sicilian Jeremy can provide us with more than my recollections and a literary reference that raises more questions than it answers.

IMO a really good puttanesca doesn't overdo the anchovies. Everything should blend in together.

Aiuto!

Marco

Agreed, maestro, on the importance of the blend. The whites are milder and less salty. They are also harder to find.

w il veneto e i suoi vini pregiati, prosecco, merlot, cabarnet, raboso, ciao amici grazie.

I am just back from 2 glorious weeks in the Amalfi coast and tried Spaghetti all Puttanesca for the first time. I am Sicilian and have never tried it before. Does anyone have a good recipe? I'd like to try it without the anchovies, although I'm sure it's good with anchovies too. Thank you!

Strappo

Louisa, I hope someone can help you here. I don't cook, I just consume. I'm a parasite, you see.

BTW, on the Amalfi coast, did you go upcountry a ways to Tramonti?
