Pasta allo scarpariello

Pasta allo scarpariello is a pasta dish from the city of Naples and the town of Aversa, in 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] As an alternative to spaghetti, penne or fusilli can be used.

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 language.
