Orecchiette with turnip tops

The orecchiette with turnip tops are a classic of the Apulian preparations. The vegetable manages to blend well with the pasta thanks to the streaks that, due to its conformation, this format has.

On the plate it is immediate to savor the contrast of flavors that is created: the bitterness of the vegetables goes well with the spiciness of the chilli pepper and the strong salty accent of the anchovies, both softened by the sweet paprika.

The fundamental advice to follow is to use fresh orecchiette (even better if homemade) to taste the true taste of Puglia.
