Imagine making your own pasta. Fresh and oozing with flavor. It’s easier than you think. Making your own “hats” or rather Orecchiette, will take about 1 hour. *Based on directions from MarthaStewart.com.
Add those hats to a delicious concoction of broccoli rabe, tomatoes, artichokes, capers...there’s a lot of good flavors going on in this pasta dish: a hint of briny-lemony essence from capers, earthy sweetness from the artichoke plus fresh garden flavors from tomatoes and broccoli rabe.

- Make the Orecchiette
- Mound the flours + salt in 3 piles on a clean countertop.
- Use your clean fingers to swirl the dry ingredient together.
- Make one big pile out of the flour mixture, make a well in the middle and pour in HALF a cup of the water.
- Gradually work the mix together with fingers and once all the water is absorbed, add more water 1 TBS at a time until a dough is formed.
- Knead the dough until all the flour is well absorbed and no more remains on the countertop.
- Continue to work the dough about 5 more minutes.
- Divide into 16 portions, cover with clean, damp towel and roll 1 portion of the 16 out into an 18 inch long rope.
- Cut a 1/3 inch piece off the end then press your thumb into each 1/3 piece to form a âhatâ.
- Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lightly sprinkled with semolina flour.
- Repeat with all the rope portions then allow the hats/orecchiette to dry over night covered with a clean towel or plastic wrap.
