Pasta allo scarpariello

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]
