Orecchiette with Ragù

Braciole ragù, a typical Sunday dish in Bari

Orecchiette with ragù is a typical dish of Bari , especially a Sunday dish. On Sundays, the smell of ragù wafts in the air as early as 8:00 a.m., when the women are already at the stove preparing the braciole to be dipped in the sauce.

The ragù prepared in Bari is, in fact, a sauce flavored with braciola; braciola is a meat roll (which can be as big as the palm of your hand) filled with seasoning, specifically garlic, pancetta, pecorino cheese, parsley, and a pinch of pepper.

What distinguishes this type of ragù is the combination with orecchiette , the fresh pasta from Bari that adds value to the dish.

Bari has many restaurants and trattorias , especially in the old town , where you can savor the traditional flavors of Bari; it's no coincidence that this dish is one of the must-try dishes.
