cacio-e-pepe-gnocchi

f you have always dreamed of making fresh pasta, but never had the courage to do so, or the task seemed too daunting, gnocchi is a the perfect starter dish to make your splash in the pasta world. This particular dish is so simple, yet so satisfying. Cacio e Pepe (cheese & pepper) is a well known pasta dish from Italy. It consists of, you guessed it, Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper. It is usually made with a spaghetti pasta. Today we are getting a little creative and replacing those thin slippery noodles for creamy potato morsels. Side note* I didn't have Pecorino Romano so I am using Parmesan instead. Parm still provides the same cheesy note that you need for a great dish. I also recommend using either Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for your gnocchi.
