Lorighittas ("small rings" in Sardinian[1]) are a type of pasta typical of the village of Morgongiori at the foot of Monte Arci in Sardinia.[2] They are recognized as a traditional food and thus carry the P.A.T. label in Italy.[3]
They are typically seasoned with free-range chicken and tomato sauce or with simple tomato sauce.[4]
They are prepared by hand by twisting a double string of dough between the fingers to create a closed braid to form a ring (loriga, in Sardinian).
They were traditionally prepared for the feast of All Saints Day with semolina flour and water. To make 1kg of the pasta can take one person 3-4 hours.
