Orelha de Padre, or "Priest’s Ear," is a traditional pasta native to Brazil, particularly popular in southern regions. Its unique shape resembles an ear, giving it its distinct name. Made primarily from wheat flour, eggs, and water, this pasta is versatile and commonly used in soups or hearty stews. It is rich in carbohydrates, serving as an excellent energy source, but contains minimal fats, making it a lean option for meals when prepared without heavy sauces. The protein from eggs adds nutritional value to its composition. While not as nutrient-dense as whole-grain pasta alternatives, Orelha de Padre adapts well to health-conscious recipes when combined with vegetables, lean meats, or legumes. Its cultural heritage celebrates Brazilian culinary traditions, and its simple ingredients make it a staple food widely loved for its comforting and satisfying qualities.
