| Southern Italian cuisine. |
Tonight I made this yummy pasta from my Italian cookbook.
Bucatini is basically hollow spaghetti. This gives the paste a really nice texture and a lighter feel than spaghetti.
Puttanesca is a mix of tomatoes, black olives, capers, sardines, oregano, chilli and the usual Italian basics; garlic, olive oil and onion. Despite there being several ingredients with quite strong flavours in this dish, none of them overrode the others. They all blended nicely to create a unique taste.
Puttanesca translates as "whore's style spaghetti". Yes, really. It says so on Wikipedia. So it must be true.
