I understand that not everyone has a pasta machine at hand, which can make the pasta-making process seem daunting. But is it really? Believe it or not, there are numerous pasta types that can be shaped by hand without the need for any special tools. One such example is Lorighittas. These traditional pasta shapes, resembling small braided rings, originate from the Sardinian village of Morgongiori. While they may require some time and effort to craft, the end result is truly rewarding, especially when enjoyed as a group activity (it's a fantastic way to involve kids!). For this particular pasta, I've paired it with a seasonal sauce crafted from carrots, harissa, and miso. Being mindful of reducing waste, I utilized carrot tops to create a flavorful gremolata, which I then sprinkled over the pasta along with crispy breadcrumbs. This dish serves as yet another delightful way to embrace the flavors of spring!
