Number two in my cooking series is Gnocchi di Susine, or Plum Gnocchi. Yes, you do indeed wrap a plum in gnocchi — well, half of a plum. It’s then topped with sugar, cinnamon, and toasted bread crumbs. These are so delicious, but very rich. Although I did like them very much, I do think they could be even better with Satsuma Plums, which have red meat and are sweeter. I believe I used Damson Plums, which have yellowish meat and are tarter. Also, when I make these again I will make it a point to have a very large, floured plate to keep the gnocchi from sticking together before being put in the pan. That way I’ll have twelve separate gnocchi rather than one giant one.
