The story

About the dish

Gnocchi di Zucca alla Friulana draws its character from smoked ricotta, cabbage, pumpkin, and sausage. In the dish, smoked ricotta sets soft, fresh dairy richness against a fresh vegetal edge with pleasant bitterness from cabbage and gentle natural sweetness from pumpkin.

Read through its regional name, it belongs to a borderland table where Italian, Habsburg, Slavic, Alpine and Adriatic traditions have met for centuries. The smoked ricotta brings soft, fresh dairy richness to the regional story carried by the dish.
