Sardegna - Malloreddus alla campidanese

pecorino cheese

🥗Healthier: parmesan cheese

💰Cheaper: grated cheese blend

Parmesan offers a similar flavor with less fat.

sausage

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is leaner and healthier.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

tomato sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato puree

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Canned tomatoes provide similar flavor at a lower cost.

Heat the oil in a pan and gently soften the chopped onion and crumbled sausage.

When the onion starts to change color, add the puréed tomatoes, salt, saffron (to taste) and a few basil leaves.

Cook for about an hour.

Cook the malloreddus in plenty of boiling salted water, drain, and add the hot sauce and grated pecorino.

Leave to stand for a minute before serving.
