GENTILE GNOCCHETTI (500g)

GNOCCHETTI

Gnocchetti is a tightly curved pasta with a grooved exterior, historically made by pressing pasta dough on the bottom of a wicker basket. Not to be confused with the commonly known gnocchi dumpling, Gnochetti, a classic pasta of Sardinia, where it’s also called “malloreddus” or “fat little calves” in Sardinian dialect. Historically, Gnocchetti was tinted with a bit of the island region’s local saffron in the dough for a deeper golden color, perhaps to add the appearance of egg yolk. The deep grooves of the pasta pair perfectly with rich, flavorful meaty sauces.
