This is a traditional Neapolitan cuisine, attributed to poor class as it is cheap and filling.

Me and my family love this dish because of it's so creamy and has a unique taste.

I love it as it's easy and a one pot recipe. And also because in this recipe pasta is fully cooked in liquid with vegetables, so starch from pasta is not lost and the dish becomes so creamy without using much of butter or cheese.
