Vermicelli di Gragnano

Vermicelli is one of the most ancient Neapolitan pasta shapes, so much so that once upon a time pasta-makers were known as vermicellari. A document dated 1284 attests to their sale, while the first published recipe probably dates back to the 15th century, in the “Libro de arte coquinaria” (1464-65), by the celebrated Mastro Martino. The name refers to their shape, reminiscent of small worms (vermi).
