Spaghetti Alla Nerano

Table of Contents

From Chef Rosario:

“Spring is right here and summer time is simply across the nook. A real signal of the season is that farmers’ markets are again! This month I’ll take you to a area that completely embodies summery climate: Campania. This area is house to lovely locations just like the Amalfi coast, the Gulf of Naples, and the island of Capri. However Campania (and extra particularly Gragnano, close to Naples) can also be the (alleged) birthplace of extruded pasta comparable to spaghetti, rigatoni, and so forth.

Why not purchase some high quality spaghetti and make the native staple “Spaghetti alla Nerano?”

Nerano is the title of a dreamy small city on the Sorrento peninsula. This recipe is alleged to have originated in an area restaurant. The cheese used within the authentic recipe known as “Provolone del Monaco” however I discovered {that a} good caciocavallo was good with its buttery texture and gentle aroma.”
