My ex-wife family used to make this dish. They were from Northern Italy. I always looked forward to this dish. I’ve been making this dish by hand for years. I don’t recommend it making this in a food processor. The Gnocchi were easy to shape properly but they turned to be dense and rubbery. They were the worst ones I have ever made. I’m staying with the traditional way.
