One of Orecchiette's common disguises; being cooked with vegetables and chile sauce
Description
Width: approx. 3/4 inch across
Unusual markings: slightly domed, their centers are slightly thinner than their rims
Texture: soft in the middle, chewy on the outside
Cooking time: up to 20 minutes
Disguises: can plump to twice its size when cooked
Caution
Orecchiette is currently no longer wanted in our kitchen. It was cooked this evening to go with some vegetables that we needed to finish. The lives of these fine vegetables (shallots, peppers, tomatoes, courgettes) were lost in the fight against this menace of a pasta.
Considered vile and extremely bland. Do not cook under any circumstances

I love orecchiette! I'm Irish-Italian and it's one of my favorite pasta dishes! Am excited to try this out!
