Gnocchi

Gnocchi. Let's start by saying that I. ABSOLUTELY. LOVE. GNOCCHI. Yes, gnocchi is the best food ever in existence, and I couldn't live without them. If I had to make anyone try a certain food, I would definitely make them try gnocchi. However, not any recipe of gnocchi is as good as the one that my mom makes. Mr. Tsuyuki, I really recommend that you try them.
First of all, I will explain what this food is about. Gnocchi is a food from Italian origin, of course, and the word means "knot" or "lump", which describes the shape of it. The most common way to prepare them is to combine potatoes, which are previously boiled, peeled, and mashed, with flour to make soft, bite-size lumps of dough. After that, each gnoccho is ridged along one side like a seashell. You cook them, add some homemade marinara sauce, and voila! Now the secret is not only in the gnocchi, the secret is in the sauce. I would love to tell my family's secret recipe, but then it wouldn't be secret anymore! Sorry :/
Anyway, as I said before, I love this food, and I guess it's because I got used to it. In Argentina (the country where I'm from) we even have a holiday for gnocchi, and we celebrate it on the 29th of every month. I honestly don't know why the tradition says we have to eat gnocchi, but all Argentines do it, and we love it.

This is not a recipe for those watching their calories, but everyone needs a day where they enjoy a hearty portion of gnocchi.
The tenderness of those uniquely shaped pasta dumplings, the savory sauce, the freshness of the ingredients, and the warmth of the whole dish are so delightful.

If you're a pasta lover, like me, you will love them.
