Orecchiette Artisan Pasta

Description

Weight: 500g

From Casarecci di Calabria, our artisan bronze die cut Orecchiette are made with 100% Italian durum wheat semolina and dried and low temperatures to give them a coarse, rustic surface that holds sauces beautifully.

Orecchiette, originally from Puglia, are round discs slightly sunken in the middle, so called for their shape, which resembles a small ear. Their cup-like interior is perfect for capturing chunky sauces and scooping up small vegetables such as peas.

Traditionally served with cime di rapa (turnip tops) or broccoli and anchovies, Orecchiette also pair wonderfully with tomato-based sauces, either plain or enriched with miniature meatballs and a sprinkling of ricotta forte, a bold, seasoned sheep’s milk ricotta. 

Ingredients

Durum wheat semolina, water.
