Cinnamon Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 There is a new Jamie Oliver recipe I want to cook next week for Baked pasta with tomatoes & mozzerella, which uses a dried pasta called Orecchiette. I have never heard of it, & it is not in my local Tesco (although the big one in Reading may have it) Does anyone know what it looks like, basic shape & size, so I can replace it with something else if needs be?

Cinnamon Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 AAhhhhhhhhhhhhh I see! I could probably substitute the shell shaped ones, then. thanks Kate I knew I could someone on here would know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Shells sound perfect Sarah. I should think that they will get nicely coated just like the Orre......whatevers! Hope you enjoy it - sounds very tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Isn't this a brilliant forum, you can find out about just about anything, from chickens and their quirks to pasta, chocolate, white digestives and big pants (just to pick on a few of the wide variety of recent topics) Fantastic Oh, and well done Kate finding that pasta, I recognised the name, might even have seen the same recipe, but couldn't remember what it looked like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 I found the Pasta in Tesco (Finest range) ,& it was strange old stuff....sort of "rough" looking,so I was a bit dubious about using it. However, I made the dish last night AND IT WAS FANTASTIC! Really simple, just layers of the pasts, a really good tom & fresh basil sauce & slices of buffalo mozzerella all baked in the oven so the cheese goes all yummy & melty. Certainly be cooking it agian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 mmmmmmm sounds fab! now only if they could get gluten free pasta tasting that good........ Did you get the recipe from one of Jamies books, or the Sainsbury's website? I also LOVE these forums - whatever you need to know, there is always someone out there (often with big pants on!) who can help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
