La Molisana - Orecchiette No.30 - Short Pasta (16oz / 1LB)

When you say "Orecchiette" you think of a special pasta, a classic of the Apulian gastronomic world; La Molisana has reproduced this pasta format with the same skill with which the housewives work it at home in this region of southern Italy. The particular and captivating shape resembles that of small ears (from which the name derives); the Orecchiette have a full-bodied appearance and a line on one side only; particular is the bronze die-cut drawing procedure — part of the proud Ferro Family tradition — which gives this product a unique porosity, capable of capturing the seasonings and delighting the palate. This format lends itself well to hearty ragouts, to condiments based on vegetables and mushrooms and is unsurpassed with ricotta and pecorino. But the Apulian regional cuisine has dedicated some iconic recipes to this pasta that have made the history of Italian gastronomy, including the most famous dish "Orecchiette with turnip greens". A sturdy pasta with excellent cooking properties, an intense aroma, a pale yellow color and a high protein content. Crafted from 100% durum wheat semolina through a stone debranning process and packaged in FSC-certified, 100% plastic-free boxes — an explosion of Mediterranean flavors on your table, straight from the heart of Molise, Italy.
