Spaghetti all puttanesca is one of my favourite dishes to cook. It's easy but tastes great!
I've heard of that dish. It has a fair amount of healthy ingredients like tomatoes, olives, garlic... do you anchovies in your version or no?
It's traditional, but I like to leave them out. 
I've heard that the sauce for that dish originally rose in popularity in the 1960's. 
I've heard that it was popular among the "ladies of the night" in Italy, hence the name. I wonder if that is true?
Usually all expressions have some element of truth to them. If it truly is easy to make, I suppose it makes a lot of sense. 
Whatever it's origins, it is sure a quick dish to make with what you usually have in the cupboard. Do you like pasta?
To be honest, it's my favorite food. It's fairly cheap, and making a large amount isn't a lot of work.
I agree, and you can vary the sauces, creamy like alfredo, tomoato like puttanesca or marinana. Lots of variety!
Absolutely! There is a never-ending variety of add-ons, like meatballs, garlic bread, or.. if you enjoy that type of thing, anchovies.
