Spaghetti alla Nerano
Spaghetti alla Nerano is a traditional Italian pasta dish originating from the village of Nerano, a fraction of Massa Lubrense in the province of Naples, Campania. The dish is named after its place of origin and is a staple of Neapolitan cuisine.
History[edit | edit source]
The recipe for Spaghetti alla Nerano was first created in the 1950s by a local cook named Maria Grazia, who owned a restaurant in Nerano. The dish quickly gained popularity and is now served in restaurants throughout Italy and beyond.
Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients of Spaghetti alla Nerano are spaghetti, zucchini, provolone del Monaco, Parmigiano Reggiano, basil, and olive oil. The zucchini are sliced and fried in olive oil until they are golden brown. The fried zucchini slices are then set aside, and the oil is used to cook the spaghetti. Once the spaghetti is cooked, it is combined with the fried zucchini, grated provolone del Monaco, Parmigiano Reggiano, and fresh basil. The dish is typically served hot and is often garnished with additional basil leaves.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While the traditional recipe for Spaghetti alla Nerano calls for provolone del Monaco, some variations of the dish use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or pecorino. Some recipes also include additional ingredients, such as garlic, onion, or tomato.
