Traditional Handmade Pasta Shape of Puglia, Italy

Orecchiette, meaning "little ears," is the classic shape of of Puglia. The pasta is made by pressing pieces of dough with the thumb, and if you look closely, you can actually see a fingerprint in each one. Orecchiette are traditionally served alla Pugliese (with broccoli rabe, sausage, crushed chile flakes and garlic) or with a hearty meat sauce that can be cupped in the dumplings. These little ears are also wonderful in pasta salads.

Excellent Pasta

My order has only just arrived and while I have not had a chance to cook this package of orecchiette, I am confident that it will be as good as all the other pastas I've had from Rustichella d'Abruzzo. They really make some of the very best!

There is a "tooth" to this particular pasta that when cooked properly give it a perfect flavor that very easily became my "go to" brand.
