Fregola is a tiny, pellet-shaped Sicilian pasta that cooks up with a nutty, wheaty flavor and distinctive chewiness. It resembles pearl couscous. In fact, pearl couscous is a reasonable substitute if fregola is not available, but keep in mind couscous cooks faster by a few minutes. Serve with crusty bread for soaking up the broth.
