Deep-fried pasta cake filled with béchamel, ragù, peas, and mozzarella. Golden and crispy outside, creamy inside.
Taste translation
If you like fried mac and cheese balls — this is the Neapolitan street food version. Crispy, cheesy, heavy, glorious.
Zen's note
Fried pasta. Yes, they fry pasta here. It sounds crazy but it works. Grab one from a “Friggitoria”, eat it hot, and don’t think about calories. This is Napoli.
