orecchiette

I saw some pasta shapes I had never seen before. We were at Trader Joe's. They were orecchiette, little ears. I thought they looked more like ufos. But when I cooked some up, I thought they looked like little jellyfish.

We had them with garlic, olive oil, and fresh basil the first time. The second time I left out the garlic and the meal was also quite delicious.
