once you have real gnocchi there's no going back to the crud you get in the states

Apparently ... but TBH, it was that Gorgonzola Sauce that was the deal breaker... Unfreakenbelievable... If Heaven had a taste, it would taste like that Sauce.

You don't know what you're missing.

i'll get the summary

I have never been a fan of Gnocchi of any sort -- not even sure if it is actually categorized as a Pasta -- BUT a couple of years back while getting back to my roots in Sicily we stopped in Taormina where the wife ordered Gnocchi Gorgonzola at a restaurant that was recommended to us... It portions was humongous and being on a Tour, doggie bags were not a viable option... I finished my meal but the wife was to full to finish hers... I took a forkful of the Gnocchi Gorgonzola and was floored and wolfed down the remaining dish... wanting more.

The dish was one of the best I have ever had IN MY LONG LIFE... and please keep in mind that I do not normally like Gnocchi... Sicily's Cuisine was easily and by far the greatest Cuisine I have ever had, and I did not have a bad meal the entire to week trip, but for one Pizza in Palermo where the crust was like cardboard, but the top was fine... Their ingredients were always so fresh and full flavored, and their seafood was unbelievable.

Anyway, the Gorgonzola sauce was so rich and flavorful... and the Gnocchi so tender with a texture I have never run across prior nor since... My mother's family were from Sicily and they cooked fantastically; her Lasagna was by far the best I've ever had... so unbelievably and sinfully rich.

... My mouth was literally watering as I typed this.

I need to go back to Italy. Sounds like an amazing experience.

Make sure to go off the toe to Sicily... Unbelievable experience... unlike all other Regions, and I loved all the other Regions to death.

I found a photo of that Gnocchi Con Gorgonzola E Spinachi from that restaurant:

no i was agreeing.

i'd eat the (frank) out of that.

that does look good but i'll be honest i really only put up with those types of shells in chicken soup. They are too difficult to eat with a fork in a normal pasta scenario

Hey dipwad... that was Pasta Cheech, which is pasta and chick peas... not Chicken Noodle Soup.

they haven't let crims near a fork since the day 2 summers ago when he almost lost an eye trying to eat some mac & cheese.

My sincere apologies... I forgot about Crims inanely bringing into play the Chicken Noodle Soup part, which spurred you comment.

I take it all back and agree with you wholeheartedly... you are 100% correct... how can you eat that soup with a fork?

I forgot to factor in that it was Crims involved in the conversation... which threw a curveball into the mix.

ohhh poop
- -davies-

I apologized to the gentleman... I hope all is good... I was totally out of line and incorrect... I will have to eat my words with a fork.



... I am so ashamed of myself right now.
