Maritati of Wheat

“Orecchiette and maccheroni, married on the same plate.”

Dried pasta made with whole durum wheat: two traditional shapes from Puglia in a single pack, for the hearty Sunday sauces.

Whole durum wheat Dried pasta 500 g pack

Maritati are a combination of orecchiette and maccheroni, and one of the most characteristic pastas of Puglia. It is not a single shape: two different traditional shapes come together on the same plate, each bringing its own texture.

These are the maritati of wheat, in the whole wheat version: dried pasta in a 500 g pack. The shop also has semolina maritati and barley maritati.

The name

Why they are called “maritati”

In Italian, “maritati” means “married”: the orecchietta and the maccherone, joined in the same pot. The name stands for union, and that is how tradition explains it.

They are an old pasta of Puglian cooking: families made them to celebrate special occasions, and they are still a dish for festive tables today.

In the kitchen

How to dress maritati

🍖

Meat sauce and pecorino

The classic: a red meat sauce, hearty and full of flavour, simmered slowly so the flavours develop. Grated pecorino goes on just before serving.

🍅

Tomato and cacioricotta

Lighter, but just as tasty: a simple sauce of fresh tomatoes, basil and a drizzle of olive oil, finished with a few shavings of cacioricotta. For a quick dish there is our ready-to-use tomato and basil sauce.

Step by step

Maritati with meat sauce and pecorino

1	The sauce Make a rich meat sauce and let it cook slowly, so the flavours come through.
2	The pasta Cook the maritati in plenty of salted boiling water and drain them al dente: taste before draining.
3	The pecorino Toss with the sauce and add the grated pecorino just before serving.

Variations

Beyond tradition

🥦 Seasonal vegetables A sauce of seasonal vegetables, for a simple, colourful dish.	🌭 Sausage With sausage, for an even heartier first course.
🦐 Seafood With seafood, for a pasta dish that tastes of the Puglian sea.	🌾 The two shapes, on their own If you prefer a single shape, there are the whole durum wheat orecchiette and the wheat maccheroni.
