The traditional dish most commonly prepared in Sardinia for all important occasions, both during festivals and village fairs and at weddings. Since ancient times, housewives have prepared this type of pasta. Its origin can be traced back to the millennia-old pattern of cultivation and diet of Mediterranean area farmers, primarily based on wheat cultivation. Is Malloreddus, also known as Sardinian Gnocchetti or simply Malloreddus, are undoubtedly the most classic of Sardinian pastas. The term Malloreddus originates from MALLORU, which in the Campidanese dialect (Central-Southern Sardinia) means Bull. Consequently, Malloreddus means "little calves." This name is rooted in the way of expression in the farming context.
