13. Puglia

Orecchiette pasta with turnip tops
One of Italy's flattest and most fertile regions, Puglia is the south's breadbasket. Wheat and olive oil are produced in abundance, making it a top Italian region for vegetarians. Orecchiette are "little ears" of durum wheat pasta, often made here without egg.
This classic Pugliese primo (first course) sees them tossed with cime di rape, broccoli rabe or "turnip tops," a little oil and seasoning, sometimes including preserved anchovies.
