Recipe Card

Organic Orecchiette Pasta: The iconic “little ears” of Puglia are even better when they’re made by our master pasta artisans in the hills of Abruzzo. Traditionally, these little rounds of pasta are rolled by hand, one by one, by women who sit outside in Bari and ply their pasta trade. Our Giadzy orecchiette preserves that hand-rolled charm and satisfyingly rustic texture for a delicious pasta bite that pairs beautifully with sausage, greens, and other smaller ingredients.

Crushed Calabrian Chili Paste: With a mellow, fruity heat that lingers on the palate but won't overwhelm, there's just no substitute for this crushed Calabrian chile paste from Tutto Calabria. The quintessential Italian chile, they are beloved around the country for the lively heat they bring to any dish. Similar in Scoville level to cayenne but with a depth of flavor unlike any other, this paste of fresh chiles crushed and preserved in olive oil is a must-have for any spice lover’s pantry. It’s one of Giada’s essential Italian ingredients.

Whole Peeled Tomatoes: Only the best tomatoes make it into each jar of Masseria Dauna’s whole tomatoes, selected by hand in the fields that dot the hilly slopes of Puglia’s Dauni mountains. Each perfectly ripe fruit must be bursting with sweetness and rich umami flavor, nurtured by the hot sun that marks most days in the southern region (Puglia gets, on average, 2,500 hours of sun every year!). They’re then carefully hand-peeled to protect the integrity of the fruit, quick-cooked and jarred in pure water—all within hours of harvest! What you get is the most delicious, well-balanced tomato flavor that’s ready to use in any dish you dream up.

Organic Sicilian Oregano Bunch: No Italian pantry is complete without a steady supply of oregano, and this dried oregano is a beautiful way to stock up. This organic oregano is grown on a small family farm in Sicily and dried right on the branch, so there's no doubt about what you're getting.

Gold-Wrapped Extra Virgin Olive Oil: There’s nothing more valuable in the kitchen than a top-quality olive oil—that’s why we wrapped our Giadzy extra virgin olive oil in gold! Light and fruity, it’s made with native taggiasca olives in the Liguria region, known as the Italian Riviera. The olives are cold-pressed and their oil is left unfiltered to preserve its rich, aromatic flavor and all those good-for-you antioxidants that make olive oil a healthy powerhouse. Golden yellow in color, our olive oil has a delicate, sweet flavor with notes of ripe olives and almonds. The bottle is wrapped in gold foil to protect the delicate oil from oxidation, a fittingly luxurious package for such a stunning elixir.
