Maritati pasta from Puglia – 500g

The format of Apulian pasta par excellence, the orecchiette therefore represent the gastronomic symbol of Puglia.

In Puglia, when talking about pasta, it is only orecchiette, and if they are handmade, they become “strascinati.” The orecchiette are a type of pasta typical of Puglia, whose shape is roughly that of small ears, from which the name is derived. These delightful little domes of re-milled semolina pasta, known in dialect as “récchietèdde,” are a source of pride for those who succeed in the challenging task of preparing them.

For some time now, orecchiette have been married off to create a new exquisite format “I Maritati,” which has indeed become a typical format of pasta characteristic of Puglia, a perfect combination of two types of pasta that have become traditional in Salento, the orecchiette and maccheroni. Maritati indeed means married, precisely to emphasize the concept of marriage between two types of pasta.

Maritati fior di grano from Puglia

Orecchiette and maccheroni come together to unleash passion in the kitchen and thus create recipes ranging from the most traditional to the most innovative.

To bring the good and true Apulian pasta to our table, we must rely on Apulian companies that guarantee originality, such as the orecchiette fior di grano, this fantastic format “I Maritati fior di grano from Puglia” which is a blend of good orecchiette and Salento maccheroncini, where the condiments become one with the pasta, because the sauce is trapped in the hollow of the orecchietta and enters the maccheroncino, thanks also to their roughness.

The Maritati fior di grano from Puglia are produced with a traditional recipe from wheat grown and milled in Italy, they have good cooking qualities that one should taste, as only they know how to capture the sauce and that being of two different but complementary cooking styles, fantastic and ultimately a good pasta that is quite digestible.
