Orecchiette are a distinct small ear-shaped pasta from Puglia, Italy, where they are famously prepared with broccoli rabe, in Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa. Their shape is perfect for scooping up sauces and smaller ingredients like peppers and crumbled Italian sausage. DeLallo Pasta comes from the town where pasta was born, a region near Naples, at the beginning of the Amalfi Coast. The art of making our pasta begins with the very best quality wheat. We carefully choose wheat with the highest gluten index, gluten content and protein content. All of these characteristics affect how the pasta cooks, as well as its taste and texture. - Made in Italy with a blend of high quality durum wheat. - Extruded with bronze dies for a rougher sauce-capturing surface. - Pasta always cooks up with that perfect al dente bite. - A short cut of pasta with a distinct small ear shape.
