Potato Gnocchi With Sausage, Mushroom Cream Sauce {Gnocchi alla Norcina}

Deborah — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 12:00:17 +0000

Anyone who knows me understands that gnocchi is one of my favorite dishes, but I am very particular about my gnocchi. It should be light and airy, not dense and gummy and although I usually prefer to make ricotta gnocchi, there are times when I need potato gnocchi instead. Now that the hustle and...

These little gems are called ricotta spinach gnocchi, or ravioli gnudi as they resemble the filling often used to stuff ravioli. This recipe was adapted from Davina Cucina’s (otherwise known as Judy Witts Francini) cookbook called Secrets from My Tuscan Kitchen. The changes I made to the recipe create gnocchi that are similar to ones I...

Instant Pot Polenta Cacio e Pepe

Deborah — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 12:00:41 +0000

I do not make polenta often, but I have tried making it many ways. The traditional way to prepare polenta is on the stovetop and requires stirring it almost continually to ensure you end up with a creamy product with no lumps. I have tried making polenta in the oven, I’ve tried a “no-stir” method,...

Potato Gnocchi With Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

This was my son’s favorite dish growing up. If I needed to encourage him to do something he really didn’t want to do, I’d offer Gnocchi with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce. You can use this sauce with either potato gnocchi or ricotta gnocchi depending on which you type of gnocchi that you prefer. Certainly ricotta gnocchi...

When it comes to enjoying food, there are few things I love more than a well prepared bowl of gnocchi. When dining out if I see gnocchi on the menu, and I know that it is made in house, I almost always order it. In Umbria where we own our farmhouse, gnocchi is almost...

Potato Gnocchi With Truffle Cheese Sauce

I love Umbria in the fall because the temperatures have finally cooled, and every weekend there is a new festival celebrating some particular fall ingredient. Before we left Italy, we headed to Pietralunga for their White Truffle & Potato festival, and then the following weekend we headed off to Trevi for the Black Celery &...

Polenta “Lasagna”

Deborah — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 15:19:15 +0000

I love pasta of every description, but if I had to choose my favorite pasta dish, it would be lasagna. There is just something special about taking a bubbling hot casserole dish from the oven, then cutting through the layers with creamy cheese oozing out of the sides. A lasagna is also a great option...

Herbed Farro Polenta Topped With Veggies & Celery Leaf Pistachio Pesto

Deborah — Mon, 23 May 2016 07:59:24 +0000

It has been an extraordinarily cool and wet May here in Italy, so instead of wanting to make my typical warm weather dishes, I am still in the kitchen making hearty soups, stews, meaty pasta dishes, and even polenta. My kids grew up enjoying a bowl of steaming corn meal polenta topped with tomato sauce...
