The Little Ears of Puglia, Now in Rochester, MN
Named for their signature “little ear” shape, Chef Pasquale’s Orecchiette is a true expression of Pugliese tradition. Crafted in Southern Italy using high-quality durum wheat and shaped through bronze dies, each piece has a rustic texture that perfectly cradles sauces—especially bold, hearty ones.
This pasta is famously paired with sautéed broccoli rabe, Italian sausage, or rich tomato ragùs. Its concave form catches every drop of flavor, while the slow-drying process preserves its authentic taste and al dente bite.
Imported directly to Rochester, MN, and offered exclusively by Pasquale’s Neighborhood Pizzeria & Italian Imports, Chef Pasquale’s Orecchiette is more than pasta—it’s a culinary heritage brought home
