This Authentic PASTA allo SCARPARIELLO Recipe is a Traditional Neapolitan Dish You'll Love!

When people ask for authentic pasta recipes from Naples, this one definitely tops my list of must-tries, especially since I learnt it when traveling there myself. Pasta allo Scarpariello is a unique and flavourful dish with a fascinating rich history involving old shoemakers. With a perfect blend of cherry tomatoes, basil, pecorino, and parmigiano, you can make this pasta in less than 10 minutes and for less than $10. My friend Virginia from the food vlog "La Gustosa Idea" introduced me to this delightful dish which was invented by old shoemakers, or "scarpari," in Naples. When customers couldn’t pay for shoe repairs, they would often pay with ingredients like cherry tomatoes, pasta, garlic, and chili. The shoemakers then created this dish using whatever pieces of cheese they had, along with the cherry tomatoes and some basil leaves! Now, the pasta shape we use for this dish is not very common, but it’s perfect for holding onto the sauce and tomatoes. You won’t need cream for this dish—the combination of pecorino and parmigiano creates a rich sauce, full of texture. Although canned cherry tomatoes aren’t part of the original recipe, I like to add them for extra sweetness, juice, and flavour. Furthermore, by quickly sautéing them, you can create a sauce that tastes like it’s been simmering for hours. Now, follow my simple recipe—you won’t believe how easy and delicious it is. 💯 Follow this link to read and print the written recipe: https://www.vincenzosplate.com/pasta-allo-scarpariello-with-cherry-tomatoes/ #pasta #pastarecipe #vincenzosplate =============================================== INGREDIENTS: 300g /10.5oz Mezzi Paccheri 1 small can Italian cherry tomatoes 300g /10.5oz fresh cherry tomatoes halved 3 Tbsp pecorino cheese grated 3 Tbsp Parmigiano Reggiano grated 1 Tbsp chili chopped 2 garlic cloves A fresh bunch of basil Salt and pepper Extra virgin olive oil Evoo METHOD: 1.
