Pasta alla Genovese in Naples

Onion-rich meat sauce from Naples, despite the name.
Pronunciation: PA-sta al-la jeh-no-VEH-zeh

What it is
Pasta with a slow-cooked sauce of beef and a huge amount of onions
Taste translation
If you like French onion soup or rich, sweet meat sauces, imagine that as a pasta. Deep, caramelized, incredibly savory.
Zen's note
Nothing to do with Genova — this is 100% Neapolitan. The onions cook so long they basically melt. The result is a golden, sweet, meaty sauce that’s pure Sunday vibes.
