I love making this panfried gnocchi alla gricia when I’m craving something rich, salty, and satisfying. It’s my twist on the Roman classic, using pillowy gnocchi instead of pasta, panfried until golden in rendered guanciale fat. Tossed with heaps of Pecorino and loads of cracked black pepper, it’s bold, cheesy, and packed with flavour. This is my kind of comfort food - easy, indulgent, and made with just a handful of good-quality ingredients.
