Gnocchi roughly translates from Italian to mean "knob in wood". Some types of Gnocchi are a bit knobby looking, especially homemade versions.
When I was a kid I spent hours with my grandmother folding individual Cavetiellis which are the Southern Italian version of Gnocchi. Now I just buy them in the grocery store. They aren't filled with the love of my grandmother, but they taste pretty good.
The sauce for the Gnocchis is a traditional Broccoli Rabe and Pancetta made with lots of garlic and olive oil. It is important to sprinkle parmesan cheese on this dish in order to off set the bitterness of the broccoli rabe.This recipe has such a classic old world flavor that I hope you will enjoy.

1) In a large sauce pan bring salty water to boil for the gnocchi.
2) In a large skillet on medium-high heat cook the Pancetta in the EVOO until it lightly browns.
3) Add the red pepper flakes and garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Do not brown the garlic but let it cook with the red pepper for a few minutes so it's flavor blooms in the oil.
4) Add the broccoli rabe to the skillet and pour the wine over it. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper and cover the skillet for 2 minutes to let it steam. Cook until the broccoli rabe is to your liking.
5) Shut off the heat. Mix the broccoli rabe with the pancetta and let it sit covered until the gnocchi is cooked.
