Pasta Orecchiette Benedetto Cavalieri - 500g

Orecchiette is a pasta from Puglia whose name means "little ears" in Italian. They were once formed with the thumb on a rolling pin to give them their original shape! Their unique flavor goes just as well with simple sauces as with more elaborate ones. Try this pasta in a traditional recipe from Puglia, orecchiette alle cime di rapa, bringing together typical ingredients from southern Italy: orecchiette and turnip tops, anchovies and olive oil. Cooking time: 11-12 minutes Benedetto CAVALIERI is a Pasta legend! Since 1918, four generations have succeeded at the head of the family business. Located in Puglia, not far from Lecce, Benedetto Cavalieri perpetuates an unequaled know-how in the making of durum wheat pasta with an incomparable crunch. Some say Benedetto Cavalieri pasta is the Pope's favorite pasta in the Vatican! The variety of wheat used and the terroir of Puglia certainly explain this difference. Everything is done using a process that allows the dough to develop without being "brutalized" in the moulds. The slow drying at low temperature guarantees an impeccable resistance to cooking. Until now, their pasta was almost impossible to find in France... Origin: Italy
