The Gnocchi Fellas - Cannington

Wild Mushroom and Black Truffle Sauce

Our Best Seller! Here we showcase a classic Northern Italian flavour combination of mushroom, truffle and cream. We sauté fresh local button mushrooms in olive oil and butter with a sprinkle of thyme, cracked pepper and touch of garlic to create a lovely cream sauce. We enrich this with a Porcini mushroom powder and finish with black truffle oil. Our fresh handmade gnocchi rises to the occasion, marrying perfectly with the sauce.

Slow Cooked Shredded Beef Ragu

We start layering up the flavours of this lovely dish with a soffritto. Soffritto is the term Italians use for the slow and gentle frying of celery, carrots and onions in olive oil to release all their flavours. We add in some Italian herbs and spices, premium quality local beef and tomato, then simmer slowly for 5 hours. To finish we gently shred the tender beef and place it back into the sauce making a perfect coating to our fluffy handmade gnocchi.

Basil Pesto

A sauce originating in the Northern region of Italy from the city of Genova. We make a traditional basil pesto by blending fresh basil leaves with pine nuts, fresh garlic, Parmesan cheese and extra virgin olive oil. We add the basil pesto to a splash of fresh cream and toss with our lovely light potato gnocchi.

Prawns in a Rose Sauce

Almost all of Italy's 20 regions have a stretch of coastline along the Mediterranean, so there is a bounty of fresh seafood. Here we pan sear local juicy prawns along with slices of red onion and garlic to flavour our light rose (tomato and cream) sauce. Then we toss in our fresh gnocchi allowing it to suck up the flavour and finish with a twist of cracked pepper.

Tomato Sugo

Sometimes a simple sauce is the best way to enjoy gnocchi and to make it the hero of the plate. That’s why we couldn’t resist including this simple but flavoursome sauce. We slowly cook down quality imported Italian tomatoes infused with fresh basil and bay leaf. After hours of gently simmering it’s ready for tossing with our fresh handmade gnocchi. It’s the way I enjoyed it growing up at Mum and Nona’s house.
