Ladittas

Ladittas is a traditional pasta variety originating from Sardinia. The pasta is usually made with a combination of flour, lard, water, and salt. The flour is kneaded for a long time with water and lard. During the process, hands are salted to add salt to the dough.

After resting, small walnut-sized balls are flattened into thick disks with an indentation in the center, and the pasta is then boiled in salted water. It's recommended to serve ladittas as pastasciutta with tomato sauce and Pecorino Sardo cheese.

Alternatively, Viscidu, a sheep's or goat's milk cheese that's kept in brine can be used instead of Pecorino.
