MALLOREDDUS CON LE COZZE

From Chef Rosario:

Sardegna (Sardinia in English) is an interesting island in the course of the Mediterranean. Italians love Sardegna for its crystal-clear waters, mozzafiato (breathtaking) seascapes, and its distinctive mouthwatering delicacies.

After I was rising up, I used to be lucky sufficient to spend a couple of summers in Sardegna as a result of my father labored there for a time. I realized to like the island’s many culinary delicacies, and above all, its distinctive pasta shapes like MALLOREDDUS (Sardinian semolina gnocchi) and FRÈGULA (Sardinian couscous—in present Italian, it is called “fregola”). Happily, each unique pasta shapes can be found within the pasta part of most specialty meals shops.

The next recipe is my interpretation of a traditional Sardinian match: shellfish and pasta. Malloreddus are quintessentially Sardinian, and mussels are available in Sardegna and all around the Mediterranean. We’re blessed with scrumptious mussels within the North Atlantic and in different coastal areas of the US as nicely, making them a favourite and beloved seafood selection. The flavors of this dish will tempt and delight you and your company: ASSAGGIATE!
