Hello everyone ! I got those pasta as a gift from someone who came back from Italy (I have no idea if it’s nice pasta or touristy thing). We cooked them for twelves minutes but some part of them still felt raw, not al dente, raw. We put them in boiling water for twelve minutes didn’t add anything. Do you have any advice for me ?

Orecchiette are usually made as a fresh type of pasta that needs to be refrigerated, maybe the dried version needed an even longer cooking time than the package indicated because of the thickness?
if *some* of them felt raw, its probably that they were stuck together whilst boiling.
next time try mixing the pasta after putting it in boiling water.
pasta is not rocket science, if they are all the same size they will cook the same. their is no way this is due to faulty production
