Orecchiette

The best orecchiette recipes combine garlic with lemon juice, white wine, and crushed red pepper flakes to create a dish that’s as colorful as it is flavorful. You can serve orecchiette with parmesan cheese or without it if you’re a vegan. The dish is flavorful even without the cheese, and it’s best served with crusty bread and focaccia.

If you’d like to make your pasta, cook the orecchiette al dente according to the package instructions. Toss the pasta with tomato sauce and scallion greens. You can also reserve some cooking water and add flavor to the dish.
