Cooking Orecchiette Pasta

[Zandy595]

Where in the world can I find dry orecchiette pasta? My Publix doesn't have it. Is there a big brand name dry pasta company that makes it or do I have to buy a specialty brand? I've been using shells in the recipe that calls for orecchiette, but I'd rather use the real thing.

I buy it in Barilla at Stop and shop if you have that near you.

We don't have Stop and Shop, but thank you for letting me know that Barilla makes it. I'll try to find it at a bigger grocery store.

I get Waitrose own brand, so that's no help to you I do find it takes quite a while to cook. You could try making your own - jkust pinch small balls of dough between finger and thumb (good for the kids to help with)
