Orecchiette

Orecchiette

EverydayDry

Orecchiette is a distinctive pasta variety from Puglia, Italy, whose name means 'little ears' due to its small, round, concave shape. These thick, cup-like pasta pieces are traditionally made from durum wheat semolina and water, creating a firm, chewy texture when cooked. The unique shape is particularly effective at catching and holding sauces, with each piece forming a small bowl that traditionally pairs well with broccoli rabe, vegetables, and hearty meat sauces.
