How to Cook Like an Italian: Part 5 🇮🇹
Gabe's pillowy, fluffy ricotta gnocchi tastes like eating a cloud 😛☁️ Unlike traditional potato gnocchi, these gnocchi come together quickly and have a beautiful light texture. Gabe simmers them in a simple pomodoro sauce, and finishes it in the oven with fresh mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano until bubbling. The result is a cozy, crowd-pleasing dish that feels both rustic and elegant — perfect for a family dinner or a special gathering around the table. Gabe uses the rest of the ricotta to make Fried Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms.
