Orecchiette
Carlotta from Milan
Join Milanese native Carlotta for a new pasta shape from the southern Italian region of Puglia — orecchiette! The name ‘orecchiette’ comes from their shape which resembles a small ear or an orecchio in Italian. This is one of Carlotta’s favorite shapes of pasta to eat because you can perfectly scoop up whatever yummy sauce you made, in this case, a refreshing broccoli and anchovy sauce.
Perfect for making with the kids and for storing in the freezer for those days you are craving a little bit of southern Italian fare!
