Orecchiette Bomba

My family had a late birthday celebration at an Italian restaurant in Richmond Hill (Il Fornello) that had assembled a decent vegan menu. The main courses were limited to pizza and pasta, with about 5 choices for each. This is much more than most non-vegan restaurants do! 😊 A couple of us ordered this Orecchiette Bomba. (“Orecchiette” means “ears” in Italian) This type of pasta conjures up a lot of childhood memories for me - family lunches on Sunday and it’s one of my faves too. The sauce wasn’t as spicy as anticipated, but still delicious nonetheless. The pasta was perfectly al dente too. The second photo lists the ingredients.
