I wás so háppy á few yeárs ágo when I stumbled ácross the recipe section of the Olive Gárden website. YES IT IS THERE!

This one hás become á regulár in my household ás well ás their álfredo sáuce, I meán come on, no bráiner.

I’m á big gnocchi fán, usuálly I eát it with sált ánd butter though. I know weird right? In Minnesotá we háve something cálled Klub which is á big potáto dumpling usuálly cooked with hám hock or bácon ánd served with butter ánd sált. Gnocchi tástes like the mini version of those.
