Neapolitan sauce, also called Napoli or Napoletana sauce, is the collective name given to various basic tomato-based sauces derived from Italian cuisine, often served over or alongside pasta. In Naples, the Neapolitan sauce is simply referred to as la salsa, which literally translates to the sauce. It’s also what Americans would call marinara.
