Saffron Malloreddus

Our Sardinian specialty pasta, malloreddus, is enhanced with saffron to add a splash of yellow-orange color. For centuries, the island of Sardinia has been known for its saffron and sheep. Customary practices developed where saffron was used to color pale pasta — making it look rich with egg. Local sauces using flavorful sheep milk cheeses and butter highlighted distinct grass flavors varying with each region’s pasture land. A common pairing for this pasta is to serve it with cream sauces, fresh mint and pecorino.

Try it with caramelized zucchini in our new recipe.

Excellent texture and taste

This is my favorite pasta. Love the shape as it retains a lot of sauce but the flavor of the pasta always shines through. Excellent texture!

Love them

I love all of the Sfoglini products I have purchased. My spaghetti sauce clings to the crevices and wavy shapes of the various pasta I have purchased. I love the different shapes. Would definitely recommend as this is my second purchase and I'm sure there will be more.

Craft Pasta at a Reasonable LPrixw

The taste and texture are fantastic, however the cook time is anywhere between 18-20 minutes, not the specified time on the box (I do live at altitude in Denver therefore might attribute to longer cooking times). The saffron really pushes through when cooked, giving it a vibrant yellow color. Right now I’m using it as one component to a dish, tossing it in a Pork, White Port, Manzanilla Sherry Reduction, spiced with cardamom, star anise, and fresh ginger.
