I think the anchovies are what gives the Pasta Puttanesca its name.
Spaghetti alla puttanesca literally means "spaghetti of the whores". It's a pantry dish so they didn't have to shop after a long night.

Ok, so had to go look up a recipe for Spaghetti alla puttanesca after everyone talking about it. Never have had anchovies or capers. Ack, still pretty much live out in nowhere with our one grocery store so if it’s not the bare basics, it’s not available.
