It is said that Scarpariello pasta was born in the Quartieri Spagnoli in Naples in the alleys where the "scarpari", i.e. shoemakers, once lived. Some say that the wives and sisters of these shoemakers, not having much time to dedicate to the kitchen, prepared a "quick meal" during their lunch break: the Scarpariello, in fact. According to another thesis, however, this dish was invented by the shoemakers who combined the ingredients given away by customers who were unable to pay. In fact, many customers of the "scarparo" were farmers and shepherds and, not having the economic means to pay in cash, they offered cheese to settle the bill. The day of the "Scarpariello" was Monday, the day of rest for the "scarpari", when everything that customers had given as gifts was collected and cooked together with the leftover ragù on Sunday.
It is said that Scarpariello pasta was born in the Quartieri Spagnoli in Naples in the alleys where the "scarpari", i.e. shoemakers, once lived.
It is prepared with a sauce based on cherry tomatoes, enriched during the creaming phase with grated cheese. A first course of Campania origins, easy, and excellent for recycling leftovers.
As for pasta, in addition to spaghetti, paccheri di Gragnano are generally used, but pennette or bucatini alla Scarperiello are also excellent.
