This pasta originally comes from the Campidano area in the south of Sardinia but it’s now eaten all over the island and is often prepared for special occasions or for a Sunday meal to share with all the family. This recipe represents our island’s long tradition of pasta making, it’s Sardinian comfort food at its very best and this dish always transports me straight back home.
The Gnocchetti Sardi or Malloreddus, are made with durum wheat semolina, a grain that has been grown in Sardinia for centuries and is closely linked to our peasant and pastoral traditions. Malloreddus are much more than an ingredient, they’re a labour of love. Each ridged shell is shaped through a simple movement that has been passed down through generations and give the pasta it’s unique texture, character and history. The sausage meat is seasoned with fennel seeds and white wine and left to marinate overnight. The Sardinian saffron, grown in small plots of land has an intense aroma and golden colour that brings together the sweetness of the sausage ragu and the earthiness and nuttiness of the durum wheat semolina in the pasta. These ingredients come together to create a ragu that is full of our unique Sardinian flavours, with the comfort of a slow-cooked sauce!

1 white onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

unreal, i could almost taste it through the video
Was just thinking sardina and then this video come up, had a tin of sardines
Looks outstanding, and I am definitely trying this
Bravo
Looks good. But id prefer a bowl of pho over this.
That's the most Italian sounding dish I've ever heard
Bello
Perfect 👍🏻❤
Scusi una dimanda , ma x un inglese come il suo fluente e senza errori , dove ha studiato ? A Vibo valentia ?
That looks delicious ❣️
Non ho mai visto gli gnocchi sardi, sa per caso dove acquistarli.
Bravo come sempre
I love your content, man. So wholesome and food looks so good! Not to mention, easy which is something your viewers can follow. Keep it up!
Super 😋… in genere prendo la salsiccia fresca con il seme di finocchio già dentro ma recuperarla fuori dalla sardegna è mission impossible 😅. Unico commento alla ricetta, preferisco un buon vino rosso al posto del vermentino (bovale? Cannonau?)
Lo zafferano si mette 10 minuti prima di scolare la pasta senno si fa amaro e ricorsati l'alloro……
Absolutely delicious! New Irish Subscriber and can’t wait to cook some of your recipes 🤤 ❤
Looks brilliant great video!
Looks delicious, I wanna taste it…oh and the food looks good too 😂❤
❤❤
The pasta water is the important part. The consistency of the dish should be loose. Do not allow it to get thick and stodgy. Now, get busy I'm fkn starvin.
Medium medium low heath. Nice!
i just love how passionate you are … you could be mixing water and dish soap and i would be mesmerized
Sardinia is the most beautiful place in Europe.
So simple but looks amazing! Just a few ingredients to make something good👌🏻
These are not gnocchetti sardi. These are only a type of pasta because these are not done of potatoes. These are conchiglie.
Tried cooking this. Thank you for the video it makes me feel closer to my Italian heritage by cooking these dishes.
As if this guy is Italian
Че армян делает в сардине?
Throw that pan away. Great dish btw
What kind of sausage is this? Looks delicious🤤
The more I watch Italians the more they annoy me
Pro tip: Don't watch this while on a oats only diet 😢😂
I didn't hear "Pasta woahhtah" in your last short, glad it's back
Bravo 🤚
Well now I know what I'm cooking this weekend! Looks delicious, thank you sir!
Too many gays these days….way too many!
Pro tip: if you eat it cold at room temperature the day after you cooked it it's even more delicious. M'asi fattu benni gan'e malloreddusu immoi 😅
Pecorino sardo, not normale one!
It looks delicious and I love it! 🙂
Every time I watch a video of yours, I think you're Arab, then I realize your accent is Italian.
