NOTES : From Helen Peach. According to Italian folklore, Puttanesca sauce
was created by "women of the evening." The sauce usually consisted of
tomatoes, olives, and garlic and had a heavenly aroma that would entice
clients to their doors. To serve, spoon tomato mixture over the steaks, and
garnish with olives and basil sprigs, if desired.
