Come dance in Puglia

Every pasta dish takes you somewhere. This time we head toward the heel of the boot, where orecchiette need no long introductions: small, rough, generous, born to catch the sauce. Our orecchiette are made with Senatore Cappelli durum wheat semolina and meet a soft cherry-tomato sauce with salted ricotta: sweet, savory, full. On top, confit cherry tomatoes, shaved cacioricotta, and fresh basil, finishing the dish with all the fragrance of the South. A journey to Puglia without a postcard: only pasta, tomatoes, cheese, and basil. The ones that get it right.
