Pasta allo scarpariello

Last updated

Pasta allo scarpariello is a pasta dish from the city of Naples and the town of Aversa, Campania. [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 is 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 scarparo in Italian language. [8]
