Quick Facts
Country of Origin: USA

The Flavor Experience
The semolina flour offers a subtle nutty flavor, but the true star is the shape. Those little "ears" (orecchiette translates to "little ears" in Italian) were designed to cradle and capture sauce, ensuring a burst of flavor with every bite. Cook your orecchiette in a large pot of salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes, aiming for that perfect al dente texture.
The Story
Hailing from Puglia, the southern tip of Italy's boot, orecchiette boasts a rich history. Pinching and shaping dough by hand was a traditional technique, and these little "ears" were born! Embrace the artisanal heritage with every delicious mouthful.
Usage Tips
Orecchiette is a dream come true for those who love thick and chunky sauces. From hearty meat ragùs to vibrant veggie-packed creations, the orecchiette will hug every morsel for a truly satisfying experience. Beyond just sauces, try orecchiette in a summery pasta salad – the little ears will hold onto bits of cheese, veggies, and dressing for a delightful medley in every forkful.
