But what's for dessert? You *do* know what puttanesca is, don't you?

:-)

From my dictionary:

puttanesca

adjective [usually postpositive ]

denoting a pasta sauce typically including tomatoes, garlic, olives, and
anchovies : pasta puttanesca.

ORIGIN Italian, from puttana 'prostitute' (the sauce is said to have
been devised by prostitutes as one that could be cooked quickly between
clients' visits).
