The naporitan (napolitan, named after Naples Italy) is a Japanese ketchup & butter based spaghetti filled with hearty ingredients. Originally conceived by a Yokohama chef inspired by occupying American soldiers eating everything with ketchup, this dish has become one of the most iconic yōshoku (“western food”) in Japan.

1/2 onion
1/2 green peppers
2 ~ 3 mushrooms
3 ~ 4 Japanese wieners (arabiki sausage)

3 tbsp ketchup
1/2 tbsp worcestshire sauce
10g butter
Assorted salt, olive oil, shredded cheese, parsley
1. Cut up onions, peppers, mushrooms, Japanese wieners.
2. Sauté in olive oil at medium heat with dash of salt until lightly charred.
3. Add canned tomatoes, continue sautéing for a minute or two.
4. Move it over. Add, mix, & simmer ketchup/worcestshire sauce.
5. Entangle with everything, lower heat, add & mix 3 ~ 5 tbsp pasta water.
6. Add & mix spaghetti (with heat still at low), add butter until it melts.
7. Top it off with shredded(or powdered) cheese & parsley. Enjoy!

only the weak don't see the power of ketchup, it's a really good condiment when cooked properly. the canned tomatoes are a no go for me, unless they are high quality italian tomatoes, which, lets be real are overpriced as f
I can see why they will be upset😂
Or just break spagetthi and serve with ketchup
Bruh!!! It would have been decent without ketchup!!! 😱 Yep, this totally works!
Nice recipe taste authentic
Okay this but gochujang instead of ketchup??
I'm not Italian, nut that set me off too 😂
Remember me when you are famous plz 😊
Me an Italian at the beginning wondering why onions pepper and a sausage would upset us
Me after he added the ketchup
Canned tomatoes are ridiculed a lot but imo they are fine if you’re on a budget and can’t afford some nice tomatoes for a fresh sauce…Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Just make sure you let it slow simmer and build in some nice layers of flavors to makeup for it, cook it with love if you can’t start from scratch. (My advice)
Have a goood day everyone
Offensive yes
Delicious (for people without taste)
oh! the ketchup! that will set off anyone
I can see why they would be upsetti
instead of ketchup might as well just add sugar – it's the same result
So am I Italian friends lost their rights to food Opinions due to lack of diversity and creativity 😂😂
I'm going to make this for my daughter's Italian boyfriend. He loooooves food, but I'm betting he would turn his nose up at this!
