  Orecchiette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orecchiette is a type of pasta native to Apulia, whose shape is approximately that of a small ear (in Italian, ear is "orecchio").
Like most pasta, all versions of orecchiette are made with only hard wheat flour, water and salt.
Orecchiette probably come from the Provence region in France where a similar type of pasta has been made since Medieval times.

Orecchiette, little ears, is an endearing name given to pasta from Puglia, the region at Italy's heel.
The classic accompaniment to orecchiette is cima di rape, a vibrant, bitter-tasting green, and the best I have ever eaten was at Ristorante Plaza in the beautiful city of Lecce.
Orecchiette are a thicker pasta, so the cooking time will be longer than for thinner forms.

Orecchiette, a dried pasta made from water and semolina flour and shaped by hand into something resembling little ears, was at the top of her list.
Orecchiette take a little longer to cook than other types of dried pasta because of their concave shape.
They are cooked when there is no trace of white flour remaining when cut into; the orecchiette should retain their shape and be al dente, firm but cooked.
