Bring the unmistakable character of Southern Italian cooking to your menu with Pastificio Bacchini Orecchiette by Surgital.

Orecchiette, meaning “little ears”, are one of Puglia’s most recognisable pasta shapes. Their distinctive concave centre and slightly thicker edges create a satisfying texture while providing the perfect surface for catching sauces and small ingredients.

Made simply with durum wheat semolina and water, this traditional pasta is especially well suited to regional dishes such as orecchiette con cime di rapa, as well as tomato sauces, sausage ragù, broccoli, pesto and vegetable-based preparations.

Supplied frozen in a professional 3kg catering box, the pasta offers excellent convenience, consistency and portion control for busy kitchens.

Frozen for freshness and convenience.
