  Ted Nghiem This gnocchi is a creative riff on a traditional southern Italian sausage-and-pasta dish. Philadelphia chef Greg Vernick offers this gnocchi recipe from his Award of Excellence–winning restaurant Vernick Fish. Made from ricotta instead of potato, these dumplings are joined by crumbled tuna-and-pork sausage, and it's easier than it sounds. It's a great dish for late-summer celebrations, and pairs well with an exciting Italian white. Get this recipe and 11 wine pairings!
