Homemade Orecchiette LaTerradiPuglia, for sale online: general information
- The orecchiette are prepared on the morning of the day of departure and packaged in a protective atmosphere, the duration and expiry is 30 days.
One of the undisputed symbols of Italian gastronomy is pasta, and fresh pasta is even more so. There is nothing more inviting, for an Italian, than finding himself in front of a nice plate of fresh homemade pasta, topped with a simple fresh tomato sauce or meat sauce.
Semolina orecchiette are a great Apulian classic that is often still prepared by hand according to tradition on Sundays. The flour used in Puglia is semolina, a durum wheat flour that is well suited to the preparation of homemade pasta. To make orecchiette at home you need a fair amount of skill and also a certain amount of patience, but the outcome is always superlative. The orecchiette that we propose here have nothing industrial about them and come from an ancient Apulian pasta factory that still keeps the "grandmother's" traditions intact.
We like to suggest them to you if you have never tasted a dish of orecchiette, specifying that they are perfect with rustic sauces as their shape is designed to collect all the sauce in a generous and friendly way. Make room for fresh, coarse and very fragrant tomato sauces, knife-cut meat ragu, a good sauce of cardoncelli from Puglia, beans and mussels or turnip greens. All authentic sauces that recall the true flavor of Puglia.
