Note
One of the most beloved Neapolitan variations is Pasta e Patate con Provola.
Add 7 oz (200 g) of diced smoked provola or provolone cheese during the final minutes of cooking and stir until melted and creamy.Traditional Neapolitan households prepare both versions. The simpler pasta and potatoes recipe reflects its peasant origins, while the addition of smoked provola creates the richer and now widely popular Pasta e Patate con Provola.For the most authentic flavor, use smoked provola from Campania rather than generic provolone cheese.
