Maritati of Semolina
“Orecchiette and maccheroni, married on the same plate.”
Dried pasta made with durum wheat semolina: two traditional shapes from Puglia in a single pack, which hold their bite and take up the sauce well.
Durum wheat semolinaDried pasta500 g pack
Maritati are a combination of orecchiette and maccheroni, a pasta typical of Puglia. It is not a single shape: two different traditional pastas come together in the same pack and on the same plate, each bringing its own texture.
These are the maritati of semolina, the classic version: dried pasta made with durum wheat semolina, in a 500 g pack. The shop also has wheat maritati, in the whole wheat version, and barley maritati.
The tradition
Why they are called “maritati”
In Italian, “maritati” means “married”: the orecchietta and the maccherone, joined in the same pot. The name tells exactly this union.
They are an old tradition of Puglian cooking, and every family has its own recipe to prepare and dress them: recipes handed down from generation to generation, from the family lunch to the meal for special occasions.
In the kitchen
How to dress maritati

Meat sauce and pecorino

🍅
Tomato and cacioricotta
A tomato sauce finished with cacioricotta, which gives the dish a fresh, savoury note.
The recipes
From a simple dish to Sunday lunch
🌿
Tomato and basil
A tomato and basil sauce: a dish built on the simplicity and goodness of a few fresh ingredients. For a quick meal there is our ready-to-use tomato and basil sauce.
🥬
Sausage and turnip greens
The traditional recipe with sausage and cime di rapa (turnip greens), a pairing that brings out the robust flavours of the Puglian land.
The semolina
Why durum wheat semolina
Durum wheat semolina is what gives maritati their texture and flavour. In the pot the pasta holds its bite, and once drained it absorbs sauces well: that is why it suits both a long-simmered ragù and a simple tomato sauce.
Cook the maritati in plenty of salted boiling water and drain them al dente: taste before draining.

The pecorino
Toss with the sauce and finish with grated pecorino.
