Vesuvio pasta, also known as "vase" or "screw" pasta, hails from the Campania region of Italy, near the iconic Mount Vesuvius. Its unique shape, resembling a corkscrew or a spring, is said to have been inspired by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. This pasta is a staple in Neapolitan cuisine and is often served with hearty sauces like ragu or in pasta salads. Renowned chefs in Naples, such as the legendary Enzo Coccia, have elevated this dish with their innovative preparations. For the best Vesuvio pasta experience, head to Naples, where local trattorias and osterias serve up authentic and flavorful renditions of this classic dish. The key to a perfect Vesuvio pasta lies in its shape, which holds sauces exceptionally well, creating a delightful burst of flavors in every bite. If you're feeling adventurous, try making Vesuvio pasta with a seafood-based sauce for a delicious alternative to the traditional meat-based options.
