Gilchrist Farm and Winery’s Malloreddus Pasta

Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | Oct. 14, 2023

It doesn’t get much more farm-to-table than Gilchrist Farm and Winery in Suttons Bay. Nestled on 85 picturesque acres, this homegrown oasis is all about using local ingredients to create craveable flavors (and complement their top-notch wines!). This fall, find us fork-deep in a bowl of silky Malloreddus pasta ($16). Inspired by Michigan’s seasonal bounty and the farm’s gigantic tomato harvest, this simple dish features Sardinian gnocchi—a tiny noodle made from flour and eggs—formed from scratch and tossed in a sauce of heirloom tomatoes, olive oil, and a dash of seasoning. To finish, the dish is topped with a ball of creamy Italian burrata and sprinkled with herbs, which are grown just outside the tasting room! Pair it with a glass of velvety Four Daughters red and prepare to get cozy. Find Gilchrist Farm and Winery in downtown Suttons Bay at 417 N. St Joseph Street. (231) 916-3902; gilchristfarmwinery.com
