I just learned something about pasta puttanesca.

Puttanesca comes from the Italian word “puttana” which is usually translated as whore or prostitute. So pasta puttanesca means “whore’s pasta”

So in Series of Unfortunate Events, when Violet tells Count Olaf “Dinner is served. Puttanesca.” and he replies with “What did you call me?”, it’s because he thought she was calling him a whore.

in italy we’ve been wondering how could non-italian people get it for  ages.
