Neapolitan sauce is the collective name given (outdoors Italy) to different basic tomato-based sauces derived from Italian food, frequently offered over or together with pasta. In Naples, Neapolitan sauce is merely described as salsa, which essentially translates to 'sauce'. Basil, bay leaf, thyme, oregano, peppercorns, cloves, olives, and mushrooms may be consisted of depending on taste preferences. Some versions include carrots and celery. Outdoors Italy, the standard sauce is vegan, although meat such as minced beef or sausage can be included. By comparison, in Italy, the sauce meal carrying Naples in its name is a sauce called Neapolitan ragù.
