It's been a year since Naple's closed, and I was DEVASTATED. It was our favorite restaurant and where we went for most birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. So, of course, I bought their cookbook!

All the prep recipes are for an impressive amount of food, so I've had to scale everything a LOT. These are the scaled recipes for Marinara and Alfredo sauces.
