Where do folks find names like Orichette? - some far away cook book? - or is that a personal invention?

Never mind ... I googled for it.

It's the pasta, a type from Apulia in southern Italy. I thought I'd looked up every kind of pasta, but I missed this one. It almost looks like a shell pasta.

Take a walk down the pasta aisle in an Italian market. You'll be amazed. And there won't even be some of the hand made fresh pastas that abound.

I suppose there are a lot of pastas out there that are not standard fair. I'll have to keep myself aware of those, if I can.

“Little ears” I believe.

It’s very common in Sydney served with garlic, chopped broccoli, olive oil & Parmesan cheese.

I worked out on Wednesday evening, while traveling home from Manly that I’d “eaten out” 4 nights out of 7.

Tonight will be pizza again. Home made. Teen sons request.

My go-to use for leftovers is tacos. Just as some people make sandwiches with leftovers, I make tacos.
