Puttanesca's name has a few interpretations, but our favourite is that it might be from Italian slang referring to the act of throwing something together out of whatever people had in their cupboards. The result was surprisingly tasty, which is why it's still made today! Characterised by a rich red sauce, olives, chilli flakes and herbs, we're adding prawns and extra veg as well.
