Orecchiette 

 Orechie meaning "ear" and -etta meaning "small" is a variety of home-made pasta typical of Apulia, a region of southern Italy. Its name comes from its shape, which resembles a small ear. It is made from Semolina or wheat flour and water and is rolled into thin long strips and cut into small pieces. Then each piece is given the shape of a ear.

Ingredients

1 cup Whole Wheat Flour

1/4 cup Semolina 

Water as required

Method

Take semolina and wheat flour and mix it. Make a well in between the flour. Add water little at a time and knead it into a soft dough. The dough will be a bit sticky. Use little flour to dust the platform and then continue to knead. Divide the dough into 3 portions. Take one portion while  cover the  rest of the dough with a moist cloth. Sprinkle flour on the platform and  roll  the dough into a long strip. Cut small portions from the strip. Repeat the same for the remaining dough. Take a cut piece and with the help of a palm and the thumb, press the portion from the centre and give it a pull. It will look like a ear shape. Boil water in a pot. Add the pasta and cook it till done. Drain the water, drizzle olive oil on the pasta. Serve with garlic and mushroom sauce..
