For my journey with Cookpad, I made a dish featuring one of my city’s typical products: sweet Primitivo wine (18% ABV).

Steps

1

Mix the flour with the wine, gradually adding the water. Knead well until you have a smooth, even dough. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
2

On a floured surface, shape the dough into orecchiette. For a tutorial, you can watch the pasta-making video from the Puglian pasta school on Cookpad Italia.
3

Make the sauce by sautéing the chopped shallot with the ground beef in olive oil. Deglaze with the wine.
4

Once the wine has evaporated, add the tomato paste. Stir in the spices and 1/2 cup water. The sauce will be ready in a few minutes.
5

Boil and drain the orecchiette. Toss them in the sauce, adding some pasta cooking water if needed.
6

Serve with grated pecorino or cacioricotta cheese.
