Puglia is known for its beautiful coastline, historic towns, fresh seafood, and of course, its delicious cuisine. Orecchiette is just one of the many culinary delights that Puglia has to offer. The pasta is typically made with durum wheat flour and water, with no egg added. It is then shaped by hand, a process that requires skill and patience. The pasta is then cooked in salted boiling water until al dente, and served with a variety of sauces and toppings.
One of the most famous dishes made with orecchiette is “orecchiette alle cime di rapa”, which translates to “orecchiette with turnip greens”. The dish consists of orecchiette pasta served with a sauce made from sautéed turnip greens, garlic, chili pepper, and anchovies. The bitterness of the turnip greens is balanced by the savory flavor of the anchovies, making for a delicious and comforting dish that is beloved by many.
But orecchiette is a versatile pasta that can be served with a variety of other sauces and toppings as well. It pairs well with tomato-based sauces, like a classic marinara or a hearty meat ragù. It can also be served with creamy sauces, like a rich and indulgent alfredo sauce. And of course, it can be dressed simply with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.
