Italian pantry-friendly pasta dishes shared online

A recipe for spaghetti with small octopus (purpetielli) from the Santa Lucia district of Naples describes cooking the octopus with garlic, olives, capers and local Piennolo tomatoes, then mixing it with al‑dente spaghetti and parsley. The dish is presented as a traditional Neapolitan specialty from the restaurant Zi Teresa.

Another collection offers four quick, pantry‑based recipes: spaghetti with tuna, olives and anchovies; fusilli with mozzarella, pistachio crumbs and cherry tomatoes; fusilli with lentils and a vegetable ragù; and chicken skewers. These dishes are drawn from the Italian cookbook *Le Ricette Svuotafrigo* and are promoted as easy meals for unexpected guests, using ingredients most households already have.
