Orecchiette, aka "little ears," is pasta with personality. Its unique cup shape is designed to scoop up sauce, making it perfect for chunky ragus or creamy sauces. It’s a superstar in Italian classics like orecchiette with sausage and broccoli, but don’t be afraid to freestyle with whatever’s in your fridge. The texture is spot on—soft but chewy—and it holds its own in hearty, comforting dishes. Big flavor, tiny package.
