Bread gnocchi with fondue and speck

With this recipe I took part in Qui da Noi 2019 cookbook, my first time in a book!

Bread is one of the easiest ingredients of human nutrition.

For this reason it’s a common ingredient in regional Italian recipes, especially in the mountains where,  because of difficulties (such as weather), people used to reuse and transform food.

Here is one of my aunt masterpieces, made of bread, eggs, flour and little else. It’s a genuine and traditional Trentino recipe that I decided to combine with a delicious fondue and crunchy Italian speck.

Easy and quick to prepare, it recalls me my sweet Grandma and her savoir-faire.
