As we say in Italy : Giovedì Gnocchi (Thursday Gnocchi). Watch the new episode of A Queen In The Kitchen and learn how to prepare homemade gnocchi, the traditional Italian dumplings made with potatoes and flour, usually served as PRIMO (first course). Despite the simplicity of this recipe, gnocchi are very versatile and delicious with any kind of condiment. I usually toss mine with tomato sauce or ragu’ (Italian meat sauce) or browned butter, sage and freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
Buon Appetito!
