My wife's father used to make something that phonetically sounds like 'abitzagane': Basically a miss-mash of potatoes, veggies, mushrooms, olives, angel hair pasta, and other things all sauted in olive oil. We've tried looking for how it's actually spelled. I've even asked native Napolitans and they had no idea what I was talking about.

 

Edit... 'abitzagane' was a meat pie. What I described was another thing phonetically called 'ayaloya'. I got lots of phonetics.

Sounds delicious!  Edit: would the meat pie be pizzagaina?

        She also makes a pastiti (pastiera).
