Cooking with Rico - Gnocchi

The humble gnocchi (pronounced nyok-ee) originated in Roman times. Roman legions spread the dish throughout Europe wherever they conquered, and it became a peasant staple as the gnocchi was inexpensive, easy to prepare, and filling.

Today, gnocchi are generally served as a first course dish, or an alternative to soups or other pasta. There are many variations – ricotta, spinach, potato, pumpkin, and more. The most popular sauce is light butter sauce with fresh sage. Though there are other sauces, like Avellino’s bolognese, that make for a delicious gnocchi meal vs. starter.

Chef Rico will also draw on additional dishes from the Latium (Lazio) region of Italy, the region where Rome is located. This central Italian region is extremely food diverse and has produced the quintessential dishes the world associates with “Italian food”.

As always, each course is accompanied by a specially chosen wine pairing. This event is $57 per person with wine pairings, or $49 without* Tax and gratuity are not included. Make your reservations now by calling Avellino
