Puttanesca literally means "pasta of the ladies of the evening." Where did the name originate? It may be because the dish is hot and spicy, or because it's an inexpensive dish that can be made quickly. The dish always includes anchovies, garlic, and some hot spice, either cayenne pepper, Tabasco sauce, or red pepper flakes. Chicken thighs add a rich flavor to this easy and delicious pasta recipe.
