Stuffed Orecchiette

Stuffed Orecchiette

Italy is the birth place of thousands of varieties, shapes and sizes of pasta. Some are prized for their ability to pick up sauces, some for layering and others for filling – much like the orecchiette shape we’re using today!


The direct translation of orecchiette is “little ear”. The name comes from their shape, which is perfect for scooping up meaty sauces much like the one we’ve prepared in the recipe below. Topped with soft white cheese, fresh basil and grated parmesan these rich and savory bites are prepared from start to finish without any oil or water. Thanks to Zepter Masterpiece Cookware and the 316-L stainless steel it’s constructed, we’re able to prepare this dish in a completely clean and healthy way for maximum flavor and nutrient relation.
