And you also explained to me why gnocchi has been my least favourite type of pasta, because with its potato content the store bought varieties aren’t as tasty as the homemade kinds.

    You know guys, here in Argentina it is estimated that people are 65% Italian descendants, and almost all of our food is Italian-based. Traditionally we have gnocchi every month on the 29th, because back in the days where Italian immigrants came to Argentina (late 1800s and early 1900s), at the end of the month they have almost no money left, so they cooked what was the cheapest, and that was gnocchi. And we keep that tradition to this day. You should really come to Argentina one day! We'll be very surprised and glad to find out all the Italian influence we have in food, language and culture. If you ever come, do so in winter and let me know!

    This video was much needed guys, I’ve always made Gnocchi with egg and they’re good but way too dense and on the heavy side instead of fluffy. I’ll be making them like this, one of my favorite ways to have Gnocchi Is with butter and sage, such a flavor. I love how when Italians everywhere tell us how not to do something they always show a clip of Gordon Ramsey screwing it up, it’s just hilarious because he absolutely slaughters Italian cuisine, he deserves it.

    A little tip. Once the potatoes are cooked (I like to cook mine in the microwave, they are tastier and stay drier), you cut them in half, without peeling them. Then you place the part without the peel on the perforred side of the potato ricer and press. The peel remain inside and you can easily remove it. It's quicker and less messy.
    My personal preferance is gnocchi with ragù. But I like gnocchi with gorgonzola and speck too

    As a Supinese-American I grew up making all sorts of Italian (Supinese) dishes but my favorite by far is gnocchi in salsa di pomodoro alla Supino. Just like my nonna always made it. Pretty much just like Eva! For a change I like to roast my potatoes to cook them without adding water. I think this makes the gnocchi absorb the sauce better.

    I hardly ever make Italian food, because there are so many more cuisines that I prefer, but I made Eva’s gnocchi recipe from few years ago, and it is the best I’ve ever made. It’s now my go-to recipe. Lots of other people add eggs, and it makes the gnocchi gummy. 🤮 Her recipe is easy and good.
    ETA: Eva should never feel bad for saying negative things about Gordon Ramsey’s cooking. He’s rude AF and helped further the “good chefs are rude and mean to their sous chefs” culture in kitchens. I love watching rah video where he puts ketchup in pad Thai, I love the look the Thai chef gives him when he eats it. 😂 Pad Thai is also simple, tamarind, fish sauce, palm sugar, and Ramsey over-complicated it as well.

    In Chile we have a similar dough also made with potatoes and flour without eggs that is made in Chiloé and is called "chapalele" but it is shaped like flat and round bread that is steamed in a hole in the ground with hot stones. in the background, which is called "Curanto" which is made with shellfish on hot stones and on top of it chicken meat, smoked pork, chorizos, potatoes and covered with "Pangue" leaves where the chapaleles are placed and covered again with Pangue leaves and on top and on top more earth is placed and everything is cooked in the steam that the shellfish release. When everything is cooked, the soil on top is removed, the leaves and the food that is served in dishes is removed and finally a person can be served on his plate: shellfish, chicken, pork, potatoes and chapalele.

If she cooked iconic dishes of other countries, that would be cultural appropriation and she would do a crap job because she is not Hungarian, Vietnamese, Japanese, etc. Hey, she slags just about anyone who is not Italian and craps on anything that is not "her" authentic Italian way, so fair is fair.

      Okay so today I made a large batch of Pasta grammar gnocchi. Just listen to me.. really.. first if you are making her no egg recipe, these are delicate and you will need a delicate touch. A gnocchi board is wonderful, but one, it can get gummy so keep it floured and rub the channels clean as you go. Secondly, rolling gnocchi takes a delicate touch. It is a lot of finger roll flick. It takes time to master. Be patient. The only other thing I can advise is have fun and choose a room you don’t mind flour everywhere. Well, not really, all baking and pasta making is a bit messy. But so much fun. My cat even got into it.

    Not Eva roasting my gnocchi like that! 😂
    Look, I always add 1 egg for 4+ servings, because a) I make gnocchi 2 to 3 times a year and feel more confident about the results that way, b) that's the recipe my grandma taught me, and c) I like the texture that the egg adds to the dough (a bit more callous, so gnocchi will be not hard and not too soft).
    When it comes to gnocchi, the most important aspects are use “old” potatoes - don't use potatoes you bought yesterday - use a proper potatoes ricer, wait till potatoes have cooled down to prepare your gnocchi dough, and don't add too much flour.
    As an Italian who loves to cook, I can confidently say that adding one egg to your gnocchi dough is not as bad as adding cream to your carbonara! Just to give you some perspective! 😂

      "adding one egg to your gnocchi dough is not as bad as adding cream to your carbonara!", as another fellow italian, very true 🤣. But it's easier to mess it up, if you put too much egg your gnocchi will become too hard. Use it responsibly.

    I've made a lot of fresh pasta before but not gnocchi, because I never really enjoyed them that much. This video inspired me to go ahead and try, and now I completely get it - my first attempt turned out really good, different from any gnocchi I've had before. So fluffy!

    The first time I had gnocchi, was also the first time I had pesto, as well as the first time I had Gorgonzola. It was a pesto gnocchi with Gorgonzola dish and I was in love! To this day it’s one of my favorite dishes! One year, I dated like twelve guys and when they came over for a date, I made them chicken pesto gnocchi.

    I recently made sweet potato gnocchi with a browned butter and sage sauce - very good and yes I had to keep adding flour and more flour until the dough was not sticky. I'm interested to try again with some sort of cinnamon and sour cream sauce similar to what I'd eat a regular sweet potato with.
    I also remember my mom boiling gnocchi made by hand and frozen. They take a little longer to cook and end up a little mushy. Best to have fresh made definitely.

    Looks delicious! My grandmother from Furci used to make it using ricotta instead of potatoes. We pinch the middle to let them cook more evenly, but didn't use a fork to mark them, although some of my relatives do. I still make it that way, but will have to try this recipe!

No drama, the perfect speaking voice; no drama, clear and with always the perfect expressions. Now Eva....at first I couldn't always understand what she was saying. Now, much better. She comes with so much knowledge and credibility on anything Italian. Lovely young lady with a perfect spirit. Both always make your recipes, demonstrations and recipe easy to follow.

    You are so spot on, Harper, about gnocchi making as a meditative practice! My dad was the gnocchi king in our home. He found gnocchi making therapeutic and one of his preferred ways to wind down after a long week at work.

    • @Objective-Observer

      There is research that started with knitters and crocheters, but then expanded to all things 'made with the hands.' What the neuro-scientists discovered is that knitters and crocheters will get to the Delta Wave State in their minds while working the sticks and string. Delta is the level that Tibetian Monks reach in their deepest state of meditation. This is a very difficult state to reach consciously, but all handworkers do reach if they are working long enough to get truly involved with their project.
      Working with an involved process using the hands IS theraputic; you are forced to focus on the hands and the finished product, which allows all those other nigling struggles of the day to be forced back/out of the consciousness. It's like cleaning day for your brain. The best part is: when hand workers are finished with their brain cleaning, we have something productive to show for that brain cleaning.

Gnocchi was one very special treat - a real food of love - and 'mangia...mangia' was said with glee! Thanks Ava and Harper for another pleasant trip down memory lane! Alla prossima...

    The whistling music in the background while Ava was cooking was so interesting, hauntingly beautiful and captivating to me that I was very distracted by it.
    So distracted that i would miss the visual part of this WONDERFUL podcast over and over and over again. I'm a bit sleep deprived at the moment.
    After several attempts to stay focused on the visual and not zone out with the music AGAIN i finally just muted it and was finally able to stay attentive to everything i had repeatedly missed so many times visually.
    The visual part of this video was equally wonderfully done. I loved all the slow mo and other effects that went perfectly with the melodic whistling. Wonderful!
