Setaro Orecchiette is a small, concave pasta made by Pastificio Setaro in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, Italy. Orecchiette means "little ears" in Italian, a reference to the pasta's distinctive rounded, ear-like shape. Traditionally associated with the cuisine of Puglia in southern Italy, Orecchiette's cupped center and textured surface are excellent for capturing sauces and small ingredients.
How to Use Setaro Orecchiette
Orecchiette is famously paired with broccoli rabe in the Puglian dish orecchiette con le cime di rapa. It also works beautifully with sausage, vegetables, tomato sauces, pesto, and hearty ragù. The small cup-like centers catch pieces of vegetables, meat, cheese, and sauce in every bite.
