Zuppa Gallurese is a traditional Sardinian dish made with pane spianata (a regional flat bread made with semolina flour), a blend of cheeses (in this case pecorino, Fiore Sardo, and caciocavallo) and parsley, then soaked in a lamb or goat broth.

Fregola is a pasta typical of the region that is made by slowly building up layers of semolina flour with tiny amounts of water. In this dish I combined shellfish broth and passata to cook the Fregola with fennel, mussels, clams, and shrimp.

Also including a pic of the spianata bread that I made which went into the zuppa Gallurese.

    Interesting that fregola is often “risottata”, that is, it’s not boiled then sauced ike normal pasta, but cooked like a risotto.

    not a fan of shells with fregola. ( made them a couple of weeks ago). they somehow felt so much more fiddly to eat than spaghetti alle vongole.

    am i doing something wrong? from memory the fregole stick to the shells…
