Gnocchi Appreciate Post

[Apathy]

dumplings kluski pierogi gnocchi samosa matzah... i don't give a damn what you call it. I love them all and they deserve their own thread.

peasant food ftw.

[Asha]

With green pesto FTW.

[Hips]

gnocchi fucking rock.

[Clove]

gnocchi is best with sage and burnt butter sauce.

Carefully simmer a stick of butter over medium heat scraping constantly until it begins to turn brown. Remove from heat immediately and toss in about 8 chopped sage leaves and 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. It will froth a good deal. Toss with gnocchi and enjoy.

[diethx]

I hate gnocchi. :D

[Allereli]

gnocchi and pierogi are totally different and excellent in their own ways

Potato & cheese pierogi = win.

Reminds me of when I lived with my gramma. She'd often make me some for dinner when i'd get home from work.

[Stanley Burrell]

I haven't had gnocchi for four years, or something like that. I sort've like it too. I know I made a pregnancy pact not to let things that people post on a message board dictate what I do in real life, but I'm going out of my way to find some gnocchi now.

Where my gnocchi-headz at? Peace.

[iJin]

Lemon butter cake, ftw.

I have never had gnocchi. But...fried wonton is badass.

[Snapp]

I haven't had gnocchi in years. They're one of my mom's specialties... I'll have to get her to make me some now.

[Allereli]

[TheEschaton]

I love pierogis from when I used to work in a Polish restaurant. Never had gnocci or whatever.

[Snapp]

Plz tell where. :D

Well, I work in "the hood" of Wilmington now (no more Newark :(), but I get them from some little Polish style place..that I can't remember the name of right now. I can get back to you on it!

I still don't know wtf gnocchi is but I am going to find out where to buy some and make this recipe TOMORROW.

[Sylvan Dreams]

Gnocchi is a type of potato-based pasta. I guess it would be considered a type of dumpling? They are fluffy little balls of potato and flour.

[NocturnalRob]

I don't even know what gnocci is.

Well, there you go. Now we know.

[Clove]

It's an Italian dumpling (it literally means "lump" in Italian) made from semolina and potatoes. You can usually find them in the frozen pasta section of your grocery store and sometimes you can find vacuum-sealed products with the dried pasta.

Very popular in Brazil where they have gnocchi-themed restaurants.

Brown butter sauce is the traditional way of serving gnocchi, however they're delicious with melted butter and parmesian or marinara sauce as well.

My mother and grandmother made the best pierogis. They rocked with either meat inside or when they put in fruit filling.

It rocked. In fact, one of the few things that rocked about being Polish. Well, apart from that, our flash lights always worked during the day. <3 Solar power!

They can also be made from ricotta (which is dairy but not technically cheese) if you want some extra comforting.

[Clove]

Ricotta are curds made from the whey leftover from mozarella, whether you call it cheese or not it's most excellent.

Pierogies > gnocchi.

Not a fair comparison. They each play their parts.

[Allereli]

I bought pierogie last night. 2 for 1, but the brand name is "Cheemo"

[Clove]

Pierogie/=Gnocchi.

[Allereli]

Pierogie/=Gnocchi.

yes i'm well aware, but if you read the thread, pierogie are mentioned throughout

[Clove]

yes i'm well aware, but if you read the thread, pierogie are mentioned throughoutBecause people can't focus.

[Allereli]

Okay, fine, I also looked for gnocchi, but for some strange reason Harris Teeter doesn't have them, and now I have to go to Trader Joes.

[NocturnalRob]

just make it at home. jesus.

[Daniel]

True Story: I used to have a buddy in the Army whose last name was Guido. So we'd always get strange looks when we'd go out and be like "Hey Guido!! What the fuck is up!!?!"

[Back]

Because people can't focus.

No. Because some people are fucking straight up stupid.

[Krendeli]

Gnocchi....sorry I can't eat anything that sounds like something I did on an Asian woman's face.

[Allereli]

just make it at home. jesus.

you really don't know my limited cooking skills

[NocturnalRob]

you really don't know my limited cooking skills

ah...haha...fair enough. then yeah, buy it at trader joe's. it's a pretty decent place to go.

[Zarli]

Last time I made them, I did a cheese and garlic sauce.. sooooo good, that was at least a year ago, I should get them again.

THREAD REZZZ

I thought there was a pierogi appreciation thread, but it was only pierogi love in the gnocchi thread.

https://www.facebook.com/pierogifestival

THIS EXISTS. Lawrenceville, GA. August 23.

[diethx]

Hey so... I'm totally going to have to go to that.

[Gnome Rage]

I love pierogies, I don't really like gnocchi. '

(forum wanted me to change pierogies to groupies)

[diethx]

I don't like gnocchi either. Too smooshy and makes for a terrible safe word.

Pierogi on the other hand.. om nom nom.

[Lady Lightning]

I had this at Olive Garden last week, it was delicious. The gnocchi were rather small and the cheese inside was more firm, I don't really like ricotta if it's too slimy.

Anyway, I'm going to save my calories and make this one day soon.

That looks like something my brothers grandma used to make. Chicken and dumplings.

[JackWhisper]

When I was a kid growing up in Pittsburgh, my family's idea of a treat was to go to this sit-down restaurant called Mellows just outside of Concord. They served red sauce four cheese gnocchi. I thought it was pasta. I ate it like a bandit every time. Never shared. Found out years later it was potatoes. Didn't care. Tasted like Heaven. Thanks for this thread. Just saw it, and YEAH! GO GNOCCHI!

That pierogi had a bad day.

Love gnocchi and pirogi! Eastern European pastry and dumplings win big time. If you are ever in Seattle and at Pike Place Market, try out this place:

[Moonwitch]

The chinese put mean suprises in their gnocchi. I bought a beautiful little pink one, refrigerated and with little swirls on it. Labeled strawberry! 10 yuan for one so it has to be good right? Inside...salty black bean curd. :(

Yep you have to be careful with the Asian dumplings. They love the bright colors but they put beans in a lot of those, and sweet too ick!

[Allereli]

Happy National Pierogi Day!

Wow, that is one ridiculously huge wad of carbs. While it resembles something less than a pierogi at this point, it still looks, ok well, I like pierogis :)

"The giant dumpling weighed in at 123 pounds, establishing a record. Filled with 60 pounds of potatoes and 5 pounds of cheddar cheese, the pierogi was so big that the casino had to fabricate a stainless-steel holder in which to first boil and then bake it."
