Orecchiette is a little ear-shaped pasta that is typical of Apulia in Southern Italy. It’s perfect for this vegetarian dish. The small shape captures the sauce and mixes well with the other ingredients.
Broccoli rabe adds a crisp texture to the dish. It’s also called rapini and is closely related to the turnip family.
Helpful Hints
You can use any short-cut pasta such as bow ties or elbow macaroni instead of orecchiette.
You can substitute vegetable broth for white wine. Add 2 more garlic cloves for extra flavor.
