Ritrovo Selections L’Ultimo Forno Orecchiette Pasta are your favorite "little ears" pasta made with Farina Arsa. Traditionally, leftover burnt wheat is collected after the wheat fields are burned to clear the land, but in modern times, this smoky, rich flavor is achieved by toasting the wheat in an oven.
The toasted grains give the pasta its dark earthy color and nutty flavor. As with the original orecchiette pasta, this is perfectly paired with rich, creamy and chunky sauces, and vegetables to be scooped up with every bite. You can also add this type of pasta to a hearty bowl of stew with fresh herbs and roasted vegetables. Its smoky flavor pairs wonderfully with chicken and beef recipes.
Try a hearty orecchiette pasta recipe with white beans, freshly grated parmesan cheese, grilled chicken breast, and a rich Alfredo sauce. For a bolder version of the recipe, add red pepper flakes or drizzle of pepper-infused olive oil. Prepare a variety of authentic Italian pasta dishes with this orecchiette pasta.
You can also add this orecchiette to a gift basket. It pairs wonderfully with a selection of pasta sauces and other aromatic Mediterranean ingredients.
