Gnocchi alla Sorrentina

The origins of gnocchi date back to the sixteenth century, when potatoes were first brought from America. In Italy, in the Lombardy region, at the Sforza court in Milan, gnocchi - known as “zanzarelli” - were served at wedding banquets and celebrations for military victories. Their preparation was quite different from the modern recipe, using breadcrumbs, chopped almonds, milk, and local cheese from Lodi.

Gnocchi made with flour and potatoes are said to have originated in Campania. In an old tavern in Sorrento, near Naples, a cook decided to use potatoes in a new way. He boiled them, crushed them, and made a dough with flour and water, shaping small round pieces so they would hold together. He then cooked them in boiling water and finished the dish with tomato sauce, mozzarella from the nearby town of Agerola, and fresh basil. This is how gnocchi alla sorrentina was born.
