Legend has it that Puttanesca (Green & Black Olive Sauce) was named for a sauce made by the "working ladies of the evening" who used a combination of savory and aromatic ingredients most available to them that were quick to prepare, and included olives, capers and fresh tomatoes. The olive - which ancient Romans called "the gift of heaven" - is one of the cornerstones of Italian life, from key role it plays in cooking to the way the majestic trees it grows on form the sensuous lush landscapes of Tuscany, Liguria, and Umbria. Barilla GREEN & BLACK OLIVE Sauce celebrates the wonderful, rich flavor of the olive in a surprising, delightful pasta sauce.
