Vegetarian Neapolitan sauce

Neapolitan sauce is the collective name given (outside Italy, particularly in the U.S.) to various basic tomato-based sauces derived from Italian cuisine, often served over pasta and then sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese. Most recipes contain garlic and onions.[1] Basil, bay leaf, thyme, oregano, peppercorns, cloves, and mushrooms may be included depending on taste preferences. There are vegetarian variants with carrots and celery.[2]

The sauce is a mainstay of Southern Italy as meat was traditionally scarce, with Bolognese sauce being attributed to the North.
