Malloreddus

Malloreddus is a gnocchi-shaped pasta variety from the Italian island of Sardinia. Due to their dumpling-like shape, they are also called gnocchetti Sardi, meaning little Sardinian gnocchi. Made with durum wheat flour, water, salt, and a pinch of ground saffron, malloreddus pair nicely with a wide variety of sauces.

One of the most traditional ways of enjoying these little yellow treats is with a simple, yet very delicious sausage-and-tomato-sauce in a popular local dish called malloreddus alla campidanese.
