Pasta allo scarpariello

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pasta allo scarpariello is a traditional Italian pasta dish from the city of Naples.[1][2]

It is typically made with spaghetti, tomatoes, pecorino romano, Parmesan, basil, chili pepper, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and salt. In Campania, it's also made with scialatielli pasta and yellow tomatoes.[3]

Its name literally means "shoemaker's pasta",[4] referencing an earlier time in the history of Naples when a shoemaker or cobbler might have been paid in-kind with a meal rather than cash.[5][6][7] The word for cobbler is scarpari in Neapolitan dialect.
