Cook the Vermicelli pasta al dente without salt and add to the sauce. Made by La Cianciola restaurant A tip to choose the kind of Pasta. Personally, I prefer either “the Vermicelli or Mezzi vermicelli ones”. A tip to choose the kind of wine. The dish is very tasty and, despite appearances, also structured with an intense flavor, smoked and salty. I think in this case the best match is Greco di Tufo as Vigna Cicogna made by Benito Ferrara. The three interpretations come from the book of “La cucina napoletana di mare” (Neapolitan Sea cuisine )by Newton Compton
