Die POM – Gnocco Sardo 21 mm for Philips Pastamaker Avance / 7000

POM Gnocco Sardo die 21 mm for Philips Avance.

The Gnocco Sardo are small, fluted mussels.
The name already gives it away. This is a variation of gnocchi, as they are popular in Sardinia. Note: In Sardinia, these gnocchi are always prepared without eggs (just durum wheat and water). Other parts of Italy are more tolerant.

These pastas are also known under the name Malloreddus. Cavatelli are very similar to Gnocco Sardo. The difference lies in the fine stripes on the surface, while Cavatelli are smooth.

This is the small size at 21 mm (the same die is also available larger at 31 mm).

Size: 21 mm
Noodle wall thickness: 1,1 mm

Pasta insert made of POM (polyoxymethylene - guaranteed food-safe plastic) for use in Philips Pasta Maker Avance, Plus, Premium and the 7000 series.
No adapter or similar is required.

If you are unsure whether your model fits the dies, please send us a message, preferably with a photo of your pasta machine. We will respond to you promptly and tell you which matrices are right for you.

POM is the abbreviation for polyoxymethylene, a guaranteed food-safe plastic. This is exactly the same material that is used in the Philips pasta maker matrices.

POM has the advantage that it doesn't weigh much and you can put the matrices in the dishwasher for cleaning.
Please note that the matrices are manufactured using micro milling. This is a complex process that enables delicate shapes. But small scratches from production and minor chips may be present, these are inevitable when using POM.
It is always advisable to add a little more liquid than the pasta maker indicates and to only use cold liquids. The dough should be moist and crumbly. You can find a standard recipe for our matrices here.

What else should you know?
All of our matrices come from the Pastidea brand. Pastidea is an Italian company with years of experience in designing pasta matrices. Why an Italian company? Italians simply know the best about pasta and the like and know what to pay attention to. The design of a die is done by the Trafilaio, which translates to something like a die designer. A good Trafilaio knows exactly where on a die a little bit needs to be milled away so that the pasta has the right curve later. Maurizio of Pastidea has mastered this art par excellence.
