Maria’s Orecchiette with Tomato

Name: Maria’s Orecchiette with Tomato
Prep time: 100 min
Cook time: 100 min
Total time: 200 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 400 g Semola rimacinata (re-milled durum wheat semolina); 200–220 ml Hot water; 500 g Fresh tomatoes; 300 ml Tomato passata; 1 Onion; 3–4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil; Fresh basil; 1 tsp Vegetable stock cube; 1 pinch Salt; 1 kg Mixed vegetables (e.g. celery, carrot, onion, parsley, tomato); 600 g Coarse salt; 2–3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil; 80–100 g Salted ricotta; 80–100 g Cacio ricotta

Maria from Cisternino is 88-yeas-old and a jack-of-all trades.. Previously a seamstress, farmer, and trade union member, she proves she's a jack-all-trade in the kitchen too. She made orecchiette with a tomato sauce and ricotta salata cheese on the top. Something very simple to make, once you master that cut, roll, and flip technique you see in the video. The real trick for adding the flavour here is her own stock cube which she shared with us too.
