Orecchiette with Turnip Greens

The iconic handmade Apulian pasta.

Orecchiette, meaning "little ears," are the beating heart of Alberobello's cuisine. Their concave shape and rough surface are crafted by master pasta makers to perfectly hold the sauce.

In this classic version, the pasta is boiled together with fresh turnip greens to meld the flavors. The final touch is a sauté of extra virgin olive oil, garlic, chili, and an anchovy that melts away to provide an unforgettable savory depth.

Curiosità

"Tradition dictates that the size of the orecchiette varies by region; here in the Itria Valley, they are typically medium-sized."
