Casa del Grano Malloreddus Pasta with Saffron

Malloreddus is a small pasta shape from Sardinia, made with water and semolina flour in plain or saffron dough.

The name has Latin origins from malleoulus meaning small morsel. It is also believed the origins of the name come from the word malloru, meaning bull, and that malloreddus means calves. The shape of the pasta is like the calf of a leg. 

No matter, this saffron-infused pasta is traditionally handmade in homes by taking small rolled dough in 15 cm pieces and pressing and rolling it against the bottom of a wicker basket.

This method gives the exterior ribbed look while being pressed by the thumb and as it is pressed it is rolled into its shape.

This shape is sometimes referred to as gnocchi in Italian and cigiones in Sassari. There are many robust yet simple dishes you can make with this shape.
