Orecchiette from Pastificio Zaccagni represent a true classic of Italian cuisine, with their distinctive ear-like shape. Made from 100% semolina wheat from Abruzzo, this pasta is distinguished by its exceptional texture, which allows it to perfectly absorb a variety of sauces. By using bronze dies, Pastificio Zaccagni creates a rough surface that helps the pasta better hold onto any sauce. Due to their small indentations, orecchiette pair perfectly with rich, rustic sauces, such as those based on vegetables like broccoli and herbs or classic tomato-based sauces. When cooked, orecchiette retain their firmness but become tender and pleasantly chewy, offering a rich flavor and a textural dimension to every dish. Whether used in a simple combination with olive oil and parmesan, or in more complex dishes with meat or vegetables, this pasta is an essential part of every Italian table.
