I'd like it with Gnocchi.

It looks like potatoes from afar ...

But no, it's a form of noodle, and it's called "gnocchi".

The sauce is typically "neopolitana", but you might just try some blue cheese, or parmasan.

It's so al dente, sweet baby cheesus!

I LOVE watching Grandma Gina! She makes some delicious food and my favorite part is when she sings.

Gnocchi made from sweet potatoes is also very good.

Especially if the sauce features some nice bacon.

But that's seriously making it from scratch!

I thought just buy the gnocchi at Woolies, and a quick sauce here.

No, it's not "Come Dine With Me".

Pre-made Gnocchi is very good too.

Two things to remember: You're dealing with potatoes, basically, so it is a very filling dish...easy to "bite off more than you can chew" (which makes great as a "peasants dish").

And second: because it is very filling, go easy with any sauce, especially if it's a creamy or cheesy sauce.

Less is more....kind of how you would like to see Sophia Loren dressed!

Butter, salvia, and pecorino gets me into gnocchi heaven

My grandmother, very Italian, used to make a fantastic gnocchi dish. She would put just enough oil in a pan to coat the bottom, then ad the gnocchi and cook them just until they start to get a little golden brown color. Then transfer them to a pre-heated pot of chicken broth with some fresh herbs and shredded chicken. It was basically the gnocchi equivalent of potato dumpling chicken noodle soup and it was unreal. A very old traditional Italian dish that never caught on in America where the focus always seems to be on the sauce.

That sounds delicious. Chicken and Dumplings are such a comfort food, anyway, and gnocchi is versatile as hell.

Cooking Gnocchi with Babish:

So how many per guest?

I'd say 20 per 60 kilograms.

So ... just guessing ... that's 130 gnocchis.

Old potatoes - this is going two ways:

Salad or gnocchi.

Samoosas:

I love the potato version, but I also love the ricotta version. I dI didn't know you could do it with ricotta until I stumbled upon a delicious recipe that takes a lot less work.

Now, cut the dough into "bite-sized" pieces.

What's bite-sized?

Oh well, I guess hungry is an inch.
Turbo-hungry.
Two thumbnails.

Add the chills?

Oh go on, suffer a little.

More like going numb.

Hunger and battle comparisons?

The Sioux and Cheyenne on the Bighorn battle: "It lasted as long as it takes a hungry man to eat his dinner".

With all the # they must have been through, it wasn't really a major event.

America however was outraged: how dare they defend themselves and wipe out our dashing cavalry!

That's the downer with Gnocchi; it can be so kneady.

OK class. today we'll discuss the metaphor "hot potato" regime.

Now who wants to feel what's in the pot?

Exactly.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! The visual resemblance to potatoes is intriguing, but the revelation that it's actually a type of noodle known as "gnocchi" adds a delightful twist. The "neapolitana" sauce sounds like a classic choice, but your suggestion of experimenting with blue cheese or parmesan is quite tempting.
