Baked Gnocchi with Two Cheeses and Walnuts [Bertolli Giveaway]

Sigh.  I have a really sad story for you.  The other night I made the most incredible Baked Gnocchi with Two Cheeses and Walnuts.  I lovingly made pasta for the first time in my life and painstakingly photographed it all.  All the nitty gritty details, the flour, the EMOTION of it all.  I served it up hot and bubbling in this beautiful Le Creuset stoneware dish.  We ate every bite and loved it.

 

After cleaning up I went upstairs to upload the photos only to find out that all of those beautiful photos?  You know, with the emotion and the pasta?  Those?  I took them without a memory card in my camera.  So all of the “footage” of the amazing meal and what I think are some of the best photos I’ve ever taken are long gone.  I’m left with the memory of the delicious meal and my first pasta-making experience.  The end.

Now, that being said, you too can make this same meal at home thanks to this amazing giveaway sponsored by Bertolli!  They’re the ones who are sponsoring it all, and I have to say I’ve been nothing but completely impressed with the amazing gear that they sent.  The winner will receive:

  • Bertolli coupon for a FREE sauce product
  • Gnocchi Maker
  • Gnocchi Board
  • Le Creuset Au Gratin Dish

Seriously, what’s not to love?!  Plus we all get to watch this great wine pairing video, something I know I could use a little help with 😉

    My favorite pasta is actually gnocchi! My Nonna and I used to make gnocchi from scratch and I remember her rolling the pasta on a fork to get that perfect gnocchi shape. I love putting vodka sauce with peas on gnocchi. Delicious!

    My favorite pasta dish depends on the day, but I think I would go for my husband’s mac & cheese with leftover pulled pork.

    My favourite pasta shape is farfalle (bows) because you get the nice al dente bit in the middle where it’s all bunched up, but the outside is softer so it’s not too crunchy! Yum 🙂

    My favorite pasta dish is definitely a gourmet mac and cheese with lots of mushrooms, bacon, and yummy cheeses! And of course it has to have a crispy panko top!

    Plain ole spaghetti… I’ve never been a fan of any of the shapes… unless we’re talking stuffed things like lasagna manicotti or shells, but the favorite is still the spaget.

    Homemade mac & cheese (mine – made with barilla pasta, cabot cheddar, parm and swiss- my grandma’s, or my aunt’s – all are completely different, but so good. ) Or homemade fettucine alfredo – with homemade pasta,plenty of freshly ground black pepper and fresh parsley from the local farm (it’s the best parsley EVER – I’m obsessed).

    Oh, and my daughter “borrowed” the memory card from my camera and accidentally erased all of our pictures from our beloved 3 day vacation in Boston last year. I cried.

    That’s a bummer about your lack of memory card. What a lovely giveaway, though! My fav pasta dish is inspired by whatever I have in my fridge & pantry at any given moment. So far, I think my best creation has been Basil Pesto Spaghetti (with thin, whole wheat noodles <– best.ever.!) with a Red Creamy Vodka Sauce. Slurp!!!!!!! 🙂

    My favorite shape of pasta? Those fun cartoon-shaped pastas that Kraft (i think?) comes up with in their easy mac boxes. I don’t really care for the powdery cheese, but it’s just plain fun to eat pasta shaped like Spongebob! :p

    My favorite shape is definitely radiatori. I don’t know why, but I love the little squiggles. And honestly, my favorite pasta dish is just noodles with a little butter and salt. It’s my ultimate comfort food. Of course, now I make it with healthier pasta (Ronzoni purple box is my favorite). But I could live on what I lovingly call: noonies.

    Wow, what a great giveaway! 🙂 My favorite pasta shape is the big shells, but my favorite dish is my mom’s vegetarian lasagna (SO GOOD!)

    I love cavatappi! It is so curly and fun! It may also be because I have curly hair, that my noodle preference is curly. But, a good cavatappi with a creamy tomato sauce, italian sausage, and parmesan is hard to beat! (Unless it’s gnocchi with italian sausage and vodka sauce… dang.)
