Cooking with Grandma Paola
Paola Bagnatori knows Italian food. And as managing director of the Museo ItaloAmericano, a museum in San Francisco dedicated to Italian and Italian American art and culture, she often teaches students her signature dish: Potato Gnocchi with Tomato-Porcini Sauce. With the help of her granddaughter, Isabella (who’s made this dish with her nonna a few times before), Paola discusses the proper preparation of dried porcini mushrooms, plays hot potato, and attempts to make her gnocchi in record time. This woman really is the Gnocchi Queen.

Wow- I wasn't hungry when I began your nona's video, but I sure am now! Love the porcini recipe; remarkable, simplistic, and downright gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this video. Does your nona have any rabbit recipes??
