Orecchiette with sausage
Orecchiette with sausage is a classic Puglian pasta dish featuring 'little ears' pasta with savory Italian sausage, often incorporating broccoli rabe, garlic, olive oil, and sometimes chili flakes. The richness of the pork sausage combined with the al dente pasta creates a hearty dish that calls for medium-bodied wines and beers with enough structure to complement the savory meat while cleansing the palate.
