TOMATOES, MOZZARELLA AND BASIL ARE INVOLVED This gnocchi dish from Sorrento leans heavily on the local sweet tomatoes and abundant mozzarella (or fior di latte). Sometimes, this dish is called gnocchi filanti alla Sorrentina – Sorrento-style. Filanti means “stringy”, referring to the way the mozzarella melts into long strings – an alluring reminder to eat it while the gnocchi is still hot. Rachel Roddy’s recipe for gnocchi alla Sorrentina | The Guardian
