Potato Gnocchi With 3 Sauces, Italian Recipe - Gianni's North Beach

[@Scooter5440]

How real is this guy!! He reminds me of my uncle and his fishing buddies from the 60's. And you know he absolutely knows his preparations inside and out. Simple ingredients carefully selected, pure flavors and freshly made- it is what Italian cooking is all about. God Bless you Gianni!!!

[@guszdanovich333]

This is the real deal! Thanks Gianni for keeping authentic Italian culinary traditions alive.

[@jaemily1000]

I really like this guy. Clear. concise and very informative. Will be watching more of his videos.

[@arvidgrenman8170]

THE VERY BEST EXPLANATION OVERALL (far better than Mr. Gordon Ramsay or others) Very professional, logical and very very helpful: a) starting from choosing an incredient (what and why), b) explaining what will be used: going through the full list of the ingredients, explaining which ingredients is the star of the dish and which one for flavour only; c) and finally explaining the very technique: what to do, why to do, how to do and what NOT to do;

[@Scooter5440]

Exactly!! and better than Thomas Keller's KZbin on gnocchi as well. More complete and better presented. No pretense or overselling. Anyone who cooks cannot help but love this and be inspired.

[@zulucharlie5244]

Agreed - very simple, straightforward explanation of technique and ingredients. An excellent example of what a highest-quality KZbin channel is all about.

[@ER-me1ii]

Arvid Grenman agreed. This is Italian cooking passed on generation to generation. Not to knock Ramsey but he's not an authentic Italian chef. He cooks well but in this demo is the soul of Italian cooking.

[@amiizzy5717]

Agreed. So many gnocchi recipes Give a weight Or measure range such as one and a 1/2 To 2 cups of flour . Gianni explains what the texture is supposed to be for your end product. Finally I think I may be able to master the elusive Gnocchi. On my last attempt my partner called them "yuckies" . Never again!!!

[@Oughnutsdndaizzap]

The first of your videos I've seen but hands down the best gnocchi video I've seen out there and the sauce looks amazing can't wait to make this

[@laurajenkins8004]

Gianni! You’re too cool! Bought a potato ricer yesterday, made them today! So easy and delicious! I love your video’s, please keep them coming!

[@glendacrosbywilkins4246]

I cant remember when Ive enjoyed watching a video on cooking as much as I have this one..Thank you for sharing...

[@Lauraakinney]

Thank you so much! I'm from Mexico City and I wanted to tell you that you are an excellent cook, I was looking for a gnocchi recipe because tomorrow is my husband's birthday. This is the first time i`m going to be cooking gnocchi and you make it look so easy and explain it really good.

[@JoeMattarots]

Gianni- Thank you for the inspiration, I finally tackled this recipe and the results were outstanding! I decided to wrap the russet potatoes in foil and roast them in the oven thinking this would keep the moisture level down to a minimum and therefore I could use less flour. Since I didn't have a potato ricer or a food mill, I used my box grater on the potatoes - not as fast as a ricer but it worked fine. I also wanted to get some color so I made three batches - one with only the potato, another with a roasted beet added and the last batch with a handful of raw spinach added. I pulsed the additional ingredient in a food processor a couple of times and added it to the riced potato before incorporating the egg, which I separated and used only the yolk, again thinking this would reduce the moisture and lessen the need for flour. For the sauces, I made the creamy Gorgonzola (I added some sautéed thinly sliced cremini mushroom caps) and it was my favorite. As you had experienced, I too couldn't find any decent tomatoes, so in place of your other two sauces, I made a brown butter and thyme sauce. The cooked gnocchi were light pillows of deliciousness and in the colors of the Italian flag; I call this ‘Gnocchi Tricolori’. Thanks again for sharing your expertise and this great recipe.

[@zulucharlie5244]

Outstanding! The best Italian-American cooking KZbin channel and one of the very best all-around cooking channels on KZbin!

[@sadyechester6934]

Bellissimo! grazie Gianni! I'm not Italian, but I love Italian food. I live just south of San Fransisco. Will definitely try these beautiful gnocchi recipes.

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

My pleasure. Enjoy.

[@renaposton4407]

God bless you . I lived in northern Italy for 3 years. I miss the people . Some of the friendliest people I have ever had the pleasure to experience. But I miss the whole culture as THE FOOD!.LOL

[@0000000Lara]

My new favorite cannel. This was really well explained and very convincing.

[@TheLatinbeauty]

I did them with pesto mmm delicious thanks for the advice

[@chrome416]

I just made the three sauces with my gnocchi (which I make the same way) and MAN O MAN are you on point with this. Talk about DELICIOSO!!!!!

[@ladyzioness]

Exactly what I was looking for short well informed video. I'll try all 3 sauces THANKS.

[@InternetRock]

Another great vid. Can't wait to try these. Thank you.

[@insurancesplsts]

Thank you SO MUCH for the recipes!!! Just made gnocchi with cream/Gorgonzola sauce and it's SO DELICIOUS!!! Tastes like heaven!!!

[@amiizzy5717]

When I was a boy my grandmother tried to teach me how to make gnocchi. Course I didn't pay much attention thinking should be around forever. I have tried several times and just can't get the texture right. Love your video , so descriptive . I am really excited to try this again. I have mastered the art of pesto, If I can master Gnocchi I can die a happy man! Thanks for such a great video

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

Buona fortuna! I hope your gnocchi turn out well. Let me know. Keep on cooking! --Gianni

[@janevanskike2101]

Wonderful food. I love gnocchi. My great grandfather was from Milan, Italy. He was a mason and worked w stone.

[@LoveJoyPeace4Life]

Fantastic!!!! Gonna try this recipe also. Thanks for sharing. God bless

[@mmbmbmbmb]

This has got to be the ULTIMATE way to prepare & serve Gnocchi! Being able to 'only' watch ... was the most delightful frustration in a long time ;o) Thank you for sharing your expertise so generously!

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

Ciao. Get into the kitchen and make gnocchi yourself! They are delicious. Buon appetito! --Gianni

[@mmbmbmbmb]

Gianni North Beach shall ... ;o)

[@fongus5555]

I enjoyed the "pre-cooking" segment of the video, where you take the viewer along to shop for ingredients. To an amateur like myself, it was very helpful and informative. The ease with which you made three seperate sauces from scratch has encouraged me to prepare my own sauces at home for my next meal. Thanks, Gianni!

[@ma5468]

wow, very nice. I know what I'll be making this weekend. Thank you Gianni.

[@liskogaming]

very easy when you have the right instructor. Excellent Gianni

[@sarahadams9985]

I would totally buy season DVDs of a TV show if you were doing one! I loved this. Subscribed. Super informative without making me feel like a damn idiot. lol Gratzie!

[@SanahSaysHello]

Woah. I haven't seen cooking come alive like that through a screen in a long, long while. I felt the recipe spark on a sensual level. Thank you for sharing this. You've gained a subscriber.

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

Ciao. Thanks for your support. Let me know if you make gnocchi. Buon appetito! --Gianni

[@tomgreg2008]

Now I'm very hungry! Thanks. I like your bit of a New York accent as well....

[@larsrustanandersson3347]

One of the best cooking video I've seen. So humble and skillfull! Like reading Elizabeth David. Thanks alot!

[@vaidehiraghavan]

Very nice video. Thank you for showing how to make different sauces.

[@chrisll5690]

2020.12.27 thank you for this amazing recipe🙏

[@Maniacini]

Eating these right now with Pizzaiola sauce. Wonderful and so simple to do too. Amazing how rich a simple tomato sauce can be with just reduction and some herbs. Perfect with creamy potato gnocchi. Mine are unfortunately not as firm as in video, so I'll be more careful with ingredients next time. But still tastes good. Thanks for the videos, Gianni, this is a great channel! I'll definitely try more of your recipes.

[@ineedtosleep]

Love it. Your explanations and presence is like my Italian grandfather's -- if I was Italian and had a grandfather. I might end up doing this next time I have an abundance of potatoes.

[@brainangles]

Thanks for sharing your gnocchi making skills! I made my first batch of fresh gnocchi yesterday after watching your video. They turned out great! Stay inspired!

[@TheForgivenEcho]

Hiya Gianni~.i'm so glad to have found You,there is so little that is truely "authentic" anymore.I grew up with a few Italian friends,having had the best of food while often being in their homes i recall the "Italian" that was so much a part of my childhood & i really do miss it.I look forward to looking at Your clips & trying each recipe that i would enjoy.I love Your personality and the way You talk.Thanks 4 such a nice experience.Many blessings Gianni !

[@julenropitini3989]

Im going to make this so easy and the sauce he made look so yum

[@deaneaton9756]

Nice video. Thanks for taking the time to show us how to make this

[@TheFlechette]

In my country, Australia they have a series called Masterchef in which they once made gnocchi. The sauce was a bland butter with sage and other forgettables where they had the tenacity to call it "beautiful". Yet these sauces have elegant simplicity while achieving great taste. The world these days... Great video and something I HAVE tried!

[@samanthawho9591]

Looks so yummy. I'll try the gorgonzola one tonight, thx gianni.

[@whiteknight8374]

I Love the calm voice

[@getsatisfactionwebs]

Gianni, I LOVE these videos! I'm just upset that I'm not in that kitchen enjoying those dishes with you!

[@timbobb905]

Best explanations on youtube!

[@BrynjaLives]

I made the gnocchi with the dolce gorgonzola yesterday. Infused the cream with a piece of chopped ginger, and fresh rosemary and a hint of nutmeg then strained it out before melting the cheese into it. YOU MUST TRY it this way. Delicious! Will be trying the Trapanese next. Thank you Gianni!

[@AP-fg8vt]

I love all of them. Delicious! 😍

[@CamilleMaree]

Been wanting to try making Gnocchi for a long time, so happy i came across your video! you make it look easy, im making the gnocchi right now!!!

[@ananke15]

How simple it looks to cook. Great :) Thanks because I was a little afraid of cooking myself

[@stanthechanman]

Ba boom on da garlic!

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

Grazie. I've been making a lot of gnocchi lately. They're easy and everybody loves them. Hope you make some soon! Buon appetito.

[@dino-blackmagic6179]

Thank you for the recipes Gianni ! Cari Saluti from Turkey 👋

[@MegaBigdaddy76]

loved the gorgonzola cream sauce. trying that tomorrow!

[@tvslm2348]

Love it. Will definitely try these sauces... Thw gnoochi... Ready made hehe.. Thanks Sir..

[@Deathspade66]

Wow! That is an amazing video! Beautiful, and elegant. Nice a nice!

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Oh boy, this is my first Gianni video, and I can tell this is going to be a marathon watching session. All of the sauces were so quick and easy. I did notice you didn't use salt in the sauces; I usually add a pinch of salt. I'm assuming the flavor is amazing without? Thank you for the lesson, and wish me luck.

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

Ciao Shawna. I put salt in the blender for tomato/almond pesto. I didn't add salt to the gorgonzola cream sauce because the gorgonzola is salty. Same for the tomato basil sauce, the grated cheese is salty. But a pinch of salt can't hurt. Buona fortuna! I hope your gnocchi turn out well. --Gianni

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Been waiting for another Gianni video. I do hope everything is well. Cheers!

[@AyPip23]

it's interesting to hear you sound so much like the men in my family back in the North East despite being from California. Very informative video. it was like learning from a relative. i think that gives me confidence to try this on my own.

[@epiefresquez4753]

I really liked your teaching method. I’m going to make all three one each week starting with the almond one. I love nuts they just make meal or salad that much better ... thank you for sharing.

[@jimdeane3667]

Thank you Gianni. I have always wanted to know how to make high quality gnocchi by hand.

[@angrychef]

You've got both chops and style. I enjoy your channel Gianni.

[@wackoconqueso]

Nice job. This guy does it right.

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

@stufado1 I'm hooked on Sicilian sea salt for everyday use. I use the sale marino grosso (coarse) and grind in it my salt mill to the texture I need. Currently I'm using SoSalt from the sea near Trapani and Marsala. I also have some sea salt I got from the salt pans at Mohta in this same area. It's really special and I only use it as a finishing salt.

[@Brassfunky]

love your videos, will try this one. thanks a bunch

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

I wish my Italian was a good as your English. Bravo!

[@paulmlemay]

Best gnocchi video I have watched. Straightforward, no shit.

[@superturkeylegs]

I love San Francisco! I was born in Hanford, but my family has a lot of history in San Francisco. My grandfather spent a majority of his life in San Francisco.

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

Where did you grandfather live in San Francisco?

[@almasabales4125]

I just loved my first gnocchi recipe. Thank you for excellent demonstration.

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

Let me know how the gnocchi turn out for you.

[@almasabales4125]

Friends loved it! It turns out quite well, though I need a little more practice. Im sure the second one would be better from the first. Thank you very much.

[@venenum8]

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

Ciao. The best? I'm blushing. Thanks for your comments. I am pleased that you were able to conquer gnocchi. I hope you continue to enjoy them as much as I do. Keep on cooking! Buon appetito! --Gianni

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

Whadda ya gonna do? I always do my own dishes. Once I was clearing the dishes from the table where 6 of us just finished the last course. I wanted to wash some to make more room in the kitchen. A friend walked in. "Why not put them in the dishwasher." "Never use it. I always wash them by hand." "How long have you been off your meds" he spurted as he returned to the dining room table.

[@GianniNorthBeachTV]

Ciao. Thanks for your support. I hope you cook some of the dishes you remember from your childhood. Buon appetito! --Gianni

[@MrPerla2005]

Once in NY's Little Italy I tried one of the BEST dishes that I've tasted in my life (liked it so much that returned the following day to eat it again!), they were Gnocchi in a tomato sauce. Delicious! I am going to give these recipes a try for sure. Hope they taste as good as those ones I tried just a year before the Twin Towers fell. :(

Ciao. Yeah, I crushed a ricer or 2 in my time. I bought a sturdy heavy plastic Kuhn-Ricon replacement that's indestructible. Actually I bought 2. I gave one away at a gnocchi demonstration I did in New York City a while ago. I love mine. Keep on cooking. Buon appetito! --Gianni

Very Very good Potato Gnocchi.
