Tips and curiosities of the tomolo
Orecchiette are a traditional pasta from Southern Italy, particularly from Apulia, particularly associated with the city of Bari and its provinces. Their unique shape, reminiscent of small ears, is the result of an ancient handmade technique that has been handed down from generation to generation. The name 'orecchiette' describes their characteristic concave shape.
The preparation of orecchiette is an art requiring skill and patience. Traditionally, the dough is made from durum wheat semolina and water, without the addition of eggs. Apulian women, especially in the small villages, are often seen sitting in front of their houses shaping these small balls of pasta, crushing them with their thumb or a knife to create the typical hollow shape. This artisanal method gives the orecchiette a rough surface that perfectly holds the sauces, making them ideal for thick and tasty sauces.

Characteristics and tradition of orecchiette
Orecchiette is a forato pasta that is a symbol of Italian culinary tradition. An interesting aspect of orecchiette is their connection to the agricultural tradition of Puglia. Orecchiette are often prepared in large quantities during harvest seasons, when families gather to celebrate the harvest and share the fruits of their labour. In the past, the pasta was dried in the sun to preserve it during the winter, a method that added an extra layer of flavour and texture to the final product.
Orecchiette: the best combinations
Orecchiette pasta is versatile and lends itself to a variety of recipes. The most famous dish is certainly 'orecchiette alle cime di rapa', where the pasta is seasoned with turnip tops sautéed in olive oil, garlic and chilli pepper. However, they are also delicious with tomato, meat or simple fresh vegetable sauces. This dish is a perfect example of Mediterranean cuisine, combining simplicity and robust flavours.
Orecchiette is not only a food, but also a cultural and social symbol of Apulia. Each bite tells a story of tradition, family and love for the land. Even today, orecchiette continues to be a staple of family celebrations and local festivities, carrying on a culinary legacy that unites past and present.
