comment icon 71 more comments Ridiculous in a good way. Like, ridiculous in the “Wow, this is so intensely cozy, savory, and creamy and yet I cannot stop eating it” kind of way. This recipe is like guests on a Tuesday night, meets sweatpants casual, meets Christmas dinner. It’s mega winter-weather cozy with equal sides of fancy and down-to-earth. AND IT IS SO GOOD. Here’s the thing: you could 100% make your gnocchi from scratch. Another idea, though? You could get 75% of the way to “homemade” while also not requiring a lot of hours of advance gnocchi rep. I’ll be choosing option B for the foreseeable future, thanks to the new DeLallo Gnocchi Kits. They are high-quality, Italian-made, and easy, and they are LIFE. We always do our dinner club on a busy weeknight (like, no time to prep), and since our dinner club has a large appetite for gnocchi, I am stocking up. This is the one-way ticket for very low stress gnocchi that is both fast and homemade-ish. Final word of wisdom here: as wonderful as it is to dive headfirst into a pillowy soft bowl of this vodka-sauced goodness (and trust me, it is wonderful), the richness of the gnocchi and sauce will all be balanced beautifully with some kind of crisp veggie as a side. Personally recommend roasted broccoli, sautéed kale, or a crisp and tangy green salad. Wow-ee. This is a ridiculously yummy wintertime baked gnocchi treasure.
