The recipes of traditional Neapolitan cuisine.
The combination of vegetables and seafood has very ancient origins; already in the kitchen of ancient Rome they used to mix these types of ingredients. In Neapolitan cuisine a specialty pasta and beans, as well as the pasta cooked with other vegetables, is that the pasta is cooked together with vegetables directly (rather than being cooked in salted water separately before being added to the beans ) in this way all the starch of the pasta is preserved.
