Barilla Orecchiete (little ears) is a short pasta, typical of the Puglia region. Barilla Orecchiette's shape is a round disc slightly hollowed in the middle.

In the traditional Pugliese recipe, Barilla Orecchiette is blanched with broccoli or patatoes and then served with tomato sauce sprinkled with pecorino cheese, garlic and a drop of oil. Barilla Orecchette is also served with rich meat, vegetable or lamb and ricotta ragus.
