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.

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.
