Today I am cooking orecchiette with broccoli and tomato in a nice and tasty soup. I love this dish both in winter and summer because you can eat it hot or slightly cooled and it’s still fantastic!
In this video I used the orecchiette pasta, but really any short shape pasta would work in my opinion. I love orecchiette because they are a typical pasta from Puglia where I come from, and I think they go beautifully with broccoli.
As usual, go hard with the chili if you like it… Aurora didn’t let me put any!
