A recent conversation with an Argentinian colleague and friend — appropriately conducted over cooking Spaghetti Napoli in our guest house kitchen — brought out some interesting details on Gnocchi…. But Gnocchi has also become a term for those public servants that don’t show up for work only on the 29th, in order to collect their salary.I love Gnocchi with Gorgonzola (and maybe Spinach), but could not find a recipe that I liked online.There is a whole show on gnocchi on KQED (public broadcasting for California).
