    I love homemade gnocchi with a butter, onion and garlic sauce. Mine are pretty good but my dad’s rock the plate. I could eat some right now.

    I like vermicelli noodles tossed with garlicky olive oil and diced tomatoes. There’s probably a real name for it, but at my house we call it “pasta stuff.”
