Since our beginnings in Parma, Italy, in 1877, four generations of the Barilla family have been passing down the secrets to producing great quality pasta that really does cook and taste better.

Orecchiette means "little ears" in Italian, and have a unique domed shape, smooth on the inside and grooved on the outside, making them perfect for scooping up hearty sauces and fresh vegetables. Orecchiette is famously paired with salty anchovies, a little chilli and fresh broccoli, but works well with all vegetables and tomato-based sauces. Barilla Orecchiette cook to al dente perfection in just 13 minutes.
