About Orecchiette
Orecchiette is a small, ear-shaped pasta originating from the Puglia region of Italy, celebrated for its ability to hold sauces beautifully. Made traditionally from durum wheat semolina and water, its dense texture pairs perfectly with hearty vegetables, meats, or simple olive oil-based sauces. As a source of carbohydrates, orecchiette provides energy essential for daily activities, and the durum wheat ensures a moderate presence of protein and fiber, supporting digestive health. When paired with nutrient-rich ingredients like leafy greens, lean proteins, or beans, it becomes a balanced and satisfying dish. While orecchiette is generally low in fat, portion sizes and heavy sauces can increase calorie content, so moderation is key for those monitoring their diet. Whether enjoyed in classic Italian recipes or innovative dishes, orecchiette is a versatile pasta that embodies the wholesome simplicity of Mediterranean cuisine.
