GNOCCHI ALLA CIOCIARIA
Gnocchi alla Ciociaria
We were invited over to cook in our friends newly remodeled kitchen last night, so I decided to make my favorite “pasta” dish, Gnocchi alla Ciociaria. I found this recipe year’s ago as part of Mario Batali’s Molto Mario show on Food Network. It is not something you would want to make every night, but I usually bring it out for friends as it is such a wonderful meal. Even better, the sauce is easy, too, as you basically just dump all the ingredients into a skillet and let it cook while you make the gnocchi.
Gnocchi is one of the easiest pastas to make, but provides lots of “hands-on” fun. Our friend’s kitchen has a near-commerical stove and a huge expanse of granite counter which was perfect for pasta making. I was quite in “hog heaven” to be able to cook there. Everything is so much easier when you have the proper equipment and plenty of space. We are already planning another evening to make traditional rolled pasta here. I am certainly looking forward too it.
