It's little balls of potatoes and flour (the less flour, the softer and more potatoy the balls) with which you can use any kind of sauce. A classic is butter, sage and parmesan. It's a delicate and addictive taste. A typical roman dish is 'gnocchi alla sorrentina', which uses tomato sauce and mozzarella. You know us Italians, we put tomato and mozzarella on carbs and we're happy. These last ones are with pesto. Cheesy and aromatic. To die for. Okay, sorry if now everybody is hungry. I had to spam gnocchi for the sake of humanity. I have been trying very hard not to eat the gnocchi in the fridge. It's my favourite but my blood sugar levels are precious to me. Then you come in here with these evil photos and ruin everything.-_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I got sick so I've been avoiding carbs and heavy foods for a couple of days now. Nothing better than a huge plate of gnocchi. Especially sweet potato gnocchi. https://scontent-mxp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13432160_470927189783847_7930450267570131295_n.jpg?oh=8b10d093678029302346c8af90c5bbb0&oe=5A48E705 These are ones I made some months ago. Cheeesyyy buttery gnocchi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each country has its own version, so really it's weird that any cooking fan would have trouble making this! xD In Asia they have dumplings, in Turkey they have the smallest tortellini-like filled pasta I have ever seen, in Italy they have lots of different shapes cause we love them carbs... also, I think I've seen these when I had a stopover in a Moscow airport for 9 hours, but I didn't remember their name. These, I'd love to try, together with blini and Russian desserts. I'm always making sure to load up on borsht every time winter comes around. I want all of this, I'm drooling!

Gnocchi aside, I can't even eat it anymore because my body hates delicious food but I can still taste the agnolotti I had in Italy when I was a toddler. That's about the only memory I have of Italy because it was just that good. I envy deeply your easy access to delicious cheesy carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does 'stressing out over Yuzu's first Olympic season competition' make you burn calories??? 2 minutes ago, SparkleSalad said: (I do wonder why Italy isn't the obesity capital of the world with all that everything everwhere. Still envy.) I guess, at least our greasy carbs are all made with local, un-processed ingredients. So, people can get kinda fat, but not pathologically obese like in the USA. The situation gets critical the more South you go. In Sicily, you have the classical grandmother waking up at 5 am and cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner nonstop until 8 pm. For breakfast, some frittata? NO! FRIED EGGPLANT MOZZARELLA SANDWICHES. Still hungry darling? Don't worry, grandma's making three kilos of Lasagna, can you help here, mixing the besciamella?
