On behalf of: DeCecco

Making: Gnocchi DeCecco alla Sorrentina – A delightful Italian dish that hails from the picturesque town of Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast. This comforting classic features soft, pillowy potato gnocchi enveloped in a rich tomato sauce, topped with melted Galbani mozzarella, and finished with a sprinkle of fresh basil.

Nick Verna has had a love of food his entire life. When he was 13 years old, he started working in his mother’s catering business where she started to teach him how to make traditional Italian American dishes. The first event he cooked for was to make homemade manicotti for 200 people. He has been in love with cooking Italian food ever since. Although he is not a professional chef he has helped spread the love of Italian cooking through his cooking classes and he has self-published two cookbooks, “Italian Family Life Cookbook” and “Italian Fusion”. He has also been included in several national and regional cookbooks. Both of his cookbooks are available at www.lulu.com.
