Orecchietta is a pasta typical of southern Italy, specifically of Apulia and its surrounding areas. Now it is also industrially prepared.
It is made with semolina flour and water; its shape and rough surface facilitate the absorption of sauces. Among these, the most used ones are based on tomato, lamb ragout and turnip tops .
