Made by:

Delfino Chiarello, Chef at Café Milano at Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi, Al Maryah Island

work:

Italy’s most popular gnocchi comes from the north, where the cooler climates are more suitable for growing potatoes rather than grains. Chef Delfino explains that this delicious dish consists of potatoes and spaghetti flour, Sicilian tomato pesto, ricotta, grated Parmesan, toasted almonds, basil leaves and extra virgin olive oil.

On the palate:

The higher potato starch content lightens the gnocchi ingredients while adding texture to the dish. Chef Delfino emphasizes that this simple and high-quality product represents a true tradition of Italian culture.

What makes it special?

Inspired by his passionate grandmother. Chef Delfino fondly recalls the vegetables she grows in her own garden and the harmony around the table when she cooks. That’s why this dish is now served at Café Milano Abu Dhabi.

Best match:

In summer, Chef Delfino personally recommends pairing this dish with clams, zucchini sauce, basil pesto and a glass of delicate white grapes.
