Orecchiette are a type of pasta originating from Puglia, known for the recipe with turnip tops. The shape resembles small ears, which is where the name comes from. The pasta, orecchiette from the Benedetto Cavalieri pasta factory, is made with excellent raw materials sourced from fields between Puglia and Basilicata. The bronze die extrusion gives the pasta a roughness that allows it to absorb the sauce more effectively.
Pairings: Orecchiette is a pasta shape used for the typical Apulian dish with turnip tops. They are also delicious with broccoli and other sauces such as those with meatballs and sauce. The wine we recommend is a medium-bodied white like a Collio Doc Livio Felluga, or a rosé from Negramaro IGT Salento.
