What is orechiette? Simply, it's pasta. In English, it translates to "little ears". No doubt that the orechiette from The Mess Hall is handmade and homely, which is commendable. It's soft but firm, with that nice bite. No sogginess. However, one thing that failed in the dish, is the taste. It is too bland.
It is simple orechiette, with garlic, broccolli, chillies, and anchovies. I can't taste the anchovies and adding salt and pepper didn't help so much. I had other good things at The Mess Hall (remember to try their Bulgerian feta sandwich). It just wasn't my good pasta day.
