Description
In their area of origin, Sardinia, they are called "Malloreddus", which literally means "little gnocchi" in the Sardinian dialect. Due to this antonomasia, they are considered a typical dish.
The special feature of these small gnocchi is their size, which was chosen to guarantee a unique consistency, as well as their ridged surface, which used to be created by pressing the pieces of dough with a thumb onto the bottom of a woven basket called "Ciurili", and is now created by using a grooved cutting board.
They taste particularly delicious in traditional preparations combined with fresh ricotta or pecorino, but Gnocchetti Sardi also go well with tomato or meat sauce.
