About Oricchiette
Orecchiette is a small, dome-shaped pasta originating from the Puglia region of Italy. Named after its resemblance to little ears, this pasta is traditionally made from a simple dough of durum wheat semolina and water, making it a staple of Italian cuisine. It serves as an excellent base for hearty dishes, often paired with nutrient-rich vegetables like broccoli rabe, lean proteins, or olive oil-based sauces. As a source of carbohydrates, orecchiette provides energy but is best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Whole wheat versions offer additional fiber, aiding digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness. Its versatility and hearty texture make it a satisfying addition to meals, though it’s important to avoid cream-heavy or overly processed sauces that can increase calorie and fat content.
