Where is Pasta Puttanesca originated? A famous Italian painter often improvised dinner parties for his friends in his small rustic house on the picturesque Ischia island, outside Naples. Fresh and light local wine was offered together with this dish of spaghetti.

Put olive oil, red pepper, and garlic in a pan and sauté briefly.
Add anchovies to the pan before the garlic starts coloring. Do not burn the garlic.

Stir quickly with a wooden spoon for few seconds to dissolve the anchovies. Avoid burning the anchovies. Burnt anchovies have a very strong fishy taste. Eventually remove the pan from the stove if you feel the temperature of the oil is too high.
