How to Make Orecchiette Pasta With Veal Capers And Herb White Wine Sauce

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add ground veal and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  3. Pour in white wine and bring to a boil. Cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the wine is nearly evaporated, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in chicken stock, thyme, rosemary, and capers. Simmer until the sauce has reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  5. While the sauce simmers, cook orecchiette according to package directions in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  6. Return the drained pasta to the pot. Add Pecorino Romano cheese, parsley, and butter. Toss gently to combine.
  7. Pour the veal sauce over the pasta and toss gently to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  8. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is creamy and well combined with the pasta.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
