Gnocchi + Bacon + Butter + Thyme + Hint of Old Bay + Mozzerella Cheese = So much win.

I had some Osso Buco this past weekend served over a bed of gnocchi. Much buon.

Man, I haven't had Osso Buco for probably twenty years. Not very common on menus in St. Louis. :/

Every time I hear/see those words I think of my retarded head chef I worked with in NorCal that insisted we use a chocolate coffee sauce with the osso buco. Literally stood over sous chef me and the other cooks and made sure we served it as such, and when literally every table complained/made comments, he just shrugged it off as people not aware of fine dining. How to ruin a dish in one easy step. So much easier if you go traditional, esp. if you enjoy rosemary.

I have a really simple gnocchi recipe that takes no time to make fresh, and make a Gorgonzola cream sauce with it -- that will wet the panties of your wife FO SHO.
Homemade pasta + awesome sauce = hot, hot love making later.

Okay. I kinda fake it every time.
about equal parts flour and milk. 2 eggs. beat all the liquid stuff up, add the flour all at once, grate a shitload of parmesan into that dough, season it, and then make the shape you want - can be rolled into snakes, and cut, then shaped with a fork (holds sauce better with a shape), or piped out of a frosting bag, and cut as it comes out.
Make your pasta dumpling things, let it dry for a bit, or put them in the freezer for an hour, and then boil them a total of about 2 to 3 minutes.
Essentially, make basic pasta, make it the right shape to be called gnocchi, and fake it.

In the mean time, put heavy cream in a hot pan, reduce it until it is a nice sauce type consistency, add gorgonzola, bleu cheese, or whatever cranks your Evinrude, add cracked pepper, add the cooked pasta, toss, enjoy hot, hot sex later.

I went and read the wiki entry for gnocchi as I was curious... the french have one that's literally called "dog shit".

Ricotta gnocchi is amazing & easy to make. Serious Eats had a good recipe not too long agohere

Once you get the feel for the dough you don't even really need to measure it, it's much faster than potato gnocchi.

Yes, potato. And even that's not hard to make, but the shortcut above is really fast, and it takes the sauce nicely. Easy dinner.

My mom used to make them, and I remember potato. She used to make them sweet, though. Butter and sugar.

Potato gnocchi is shit tier food. I've never had any that wasn't just 'matter' with sauce. Once you go ricotta, you never look back.
