Gnocchetti Sardi al Ragu di Agnello

“The Sardinians, during their centuries of isolation due to so many invasions, lived mainly inland. As a result they acquired more of a taste for meat and game. Many different types of pasta and breads are also unique to the island. Gnocchetti sardi, or malloreddus as it is also called, is a delightful pasta, ideally cooked with tomato-based, meaty sauces. You can buy it in packets in good delicatessens.”
