Scialatelli [ʃalaˈtɛːlli] (also known as scialatielli [ʃalaˈtjɛːlli], sciliatielli [ʃiljaˈtjɛːlli] and scivatieddi [ʃivaˈtjɛːddi])[1] is a type of thick and short fettuccine or linguine-like pasta featuring a rectangular cross section.[2] It is typical of the Campanian cuisine and it originated in the Amalfi coast as a chef's specialty.[3][4]
History
Scialatelli is a quite recent pasta, unlike many other pasta shapes from Italy, and it was actually born as a chef's specialty in the late 1960s.[3] The Italian chef Enrico Cosentino first devised it in his native Amalfi, while working in a local restaurant,[5] and he was officially prized for it in 1978, when his scialatielli gained him the Entremetier prize in an international culinary contest.[6][7][8]
As for its name, scialatiello (singular for scialatielli) allegedly comes from Neapolitan scigliatiello or sciliatiello, a derivative of the verb sciglià ("to ruffle"),[9][lower-alpha 1] and it roughly translates to "ruffled": just like ruffled hair, scialatelli indeed look like "ruffled" strips of pasta when set in a dish,[9] as each strip has a slightly irregular shape after being hand-made and plainly cut by a kitchen knife. Another theory about this pasta name is that it comes from Neapolitan scialà ("to enjoy") and tiella ("pan"),[7] though it rather sounds like a folk etymology resulted from a linguistic corruption of the original word.
Notes
- ↑ In this case, scigliatiello has likely turned into scialatiello after a folk etymology process, as the verb scialà ("to enjoy" or, literally, "to spend a lot") sounds like sciglià indeed.
