  • About

This simple and tasty dish is the specialty of the restaurant in the Hotel Cicolella in Foggia. I have found that recipes I gathered in Apulia are geared to large appetites and this is no exception. The Cicolella chef says this serves four persons, but I would make it a first course for six.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound orecchiette
  • 8 ounces proscuitto
  • 9 ounces<

Method

You may use dried orecchiette—many fine pasta companies in the Abruzzi and Apulia export it to the United States—or make fresh orecchiette according to the instructions.

Set a large pot of water to boil. When boiling, add a pinch of salt and bring again to a boil. Mince the prosciutto into tiny bits. Cut the mozzarella into cubes the size of dice.
