How to Make Malloreddus from Sardinia | Pasta Grannies

In a large bowl, combine semolina flour and salt.

Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a small log.

Cut the logs into small pieces (about 1 inch long) and shape them using a gnocchi board or your fingers to create ridges.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the shaped pasta.

Cook the pasta for about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface.

In a separate pan, heat the tomato sauce and add cooked sausage if using.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the sauce, tossing to combine.

Serve hot, garnished with grated pecorino cheese, black pepper, nutmeg, and fresh basil.
