Gnocchi

20240103, #breakfastdiary 941, -1°C/cloudy Back on 2023.4.21, I wrote that for Italians, gnocchi with parmesan might be a lot like our rice mixed with soy sauce and margarine (not butter) when there's no appetite or nothing much to eat. I think that's really true. Boil store-bought gnocchi in boiling water. Scoop it out once it floats to the surface. Heat olive oil in a pan, toss the gnocchi around, then add a knob of butter. Season with parmesan. Heat the pan a little more and grate in some coarser parmesan — it sticks to the gnocchi in crispy little bits, which is the best part. (How to put it? Like a bit of nurungji, that crispy scorched rice.) Today, to make it feel like a home-cooked Italian meal, I serve it in a bowl with one more shower of parmesan on top.
