Nettle Gnocchi with Dolcelatte Sauce

Gnocchi are one of the most satisfying dishes of Italian cuisine. The name, which translates to ‘dumplings’ in English (and is very difficult for foreigners to pronounce!), is probably derived from the Germanic food culture - from the Knödeln and Nockerln of Germany and Austria. Including nettles in the mix not only gives a nice colour, but also a nutty taste.
