Orecchiette with Catalan butifarra sausage, broccoli and parmesan

Orecchiette, originating from Apulia, Italy, translates to "little ears" in Italian. This unique pasta has a concave, slightly domed shape, ideal for capturing and holding onto flavors, making it a perfect canvas for sauces and toppings. Handcrafted for generations, orecchiette reflects the culinary craftsmanship of Southern Italy. The intricate process involves skilled hands shaping small, disk-like pieces of dough, emphasizing the importance of tradition and care in Italian regional cooking.
