  • Professional chef Saúl Montiel from Cantina Rooftop and home cook Daniel are swapping materials and hitting the kitchen for a gnocchi throwdown! We set Daniel up with a treasure chest of ingredients from chef Saul’s kitchen, along with a recipe for his eye-popping $301 gnocchi. Meanwhile, over in chef Saul’s kitchen, a much more modest $14 worth of ingredients were being finessed by the executive chef in a quest to improvise his way up to gourmet. Whose gnocchi makes you wanna shout Buon appetito?

      Good chefs usually use a lot more butter and salt than what's recommended. What's recommended is usually healthier, of course... but if you're gonna make a dish for a special occassion, health should be the last thing on your mind. And well, that's besides the fact that salt and butter aren't as unhealthy as is generally claimed.
