Chef tips:
"maritata" Neapolitan Dialects - married, because the ingredients "marry" well together to create a harmonious dish! It's a Neapolitan old tradition, and an old one, at that. It dates back a few centuries, to one-pot meals that were filling and the only meal of the day for most households.
