Notes: This is a Rapone specialty, and very popular in the region outside of Rome where our "roots" are. Aunt Mary's gnocchi were the best ! I am so proud that Coopie whipped these up for a dinner party..we need to keep these family traditions alive. This indeed is a Rapone favorite! My mother would whip these up with little effort...I remember her cutting them and throwing them right into a pot of boiling water for Thursday night sauce ! She was amazing and made everything she cooked seem effortless!
