GET READY FOR A CARB-DRIVEN JOURNEY THROUGH RURAL CAMPANIA, AND BEYOND Our new favorite Italian finger food is frittata di scammaro, a crunchy, garlicky fried spaghetti dish from Naples. Scammaro (SCA-ma-ro) is the anti-frittata frittata: crispy, crackly, and conspicuously eggless. A pan-fried pasta dish studded with anchovies, olives, capers, raisins, and pine nuts. It’s so crisp - and deep golden brown - you can slice it into wedges and eat it out of hand, as Neapolitans often do. Eggless Pasta Frittata with Anchovies, Raisins, and Pine Nuts | Saveur

WORKING WITH OLD PIEDIROSSO VINES PLANTED ON THEIR OWN ROOTS Also known as Per e Palummo, Piedirosso is grown throughout Campania, including on Ischia island. Campi Flegrei wines (Phlegraean Fields is one giant smoldering super-volcano, with dozens of craters spread over about 80 square miles) can be hard to track down outside Italy but can be worth the effort. Some of my favorite Piedirossos from the zone are a pair of intense riservas by Cantine del Mare.
