Sounds delicious! I would probably leave out the anchovies - not my thing,
but otherwise sounds great!

Thanks,
Phil

Anchovies added to cooking ingredients lose their identity
as such. They end up being a condiment adding salt and a
distant sparkle of flavor to a finished dish. In this
recipe, they account for essentially all the salt, and it
needs salt, given meat and tomatoes. Traditionally,
puttanesca was a sauce for pasta and was supposed to be
slightly salty, slightly vinegary, slightly peppery, and
very fragrant from the garlic, olives and herbs.

Puttanesca in Italian means "In the style of whores." From
puttana - whore or prostitute. Those wacky Italians, huh...?

I was thinking of posting something along the lines of the above, about
how they provide a background flavor, without being fishey, but figured
anyone that is against anchovies isn't likely to be won over.

Still, it's good information to know! I find this kind of info facinating.
I need to read this book I bought on the recommendation of Hollywood.
