Step 1

Pour the flour on the working surface. Make a pit in the middle and add the water.

Step 2

Start mixing, each time collecting more flour from the sides of the pile.

Step 3

Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Cut a piece of the dough and roll it into a long "snake".

Step 5

Cut pieces from the "snake", a little bit smaller than what you would cut for gnocchi.

Step 6

Take one piece and a cheap kitchen knife. Hold the knife at a 45-degree angle to your work surface, then press and roll the piece of dough toward you. Unfurl the dough over your thumb in the opposite direction to form a concave shape.

Step 7

Once you are ready to eat, add the Orecchiette to the boiling water. Once they start to float to the surface, cook them for an additional minute.

Step 8

Add them to your desired sauce.

Step 9

YASSS!
