Best Gnocci Ever!

I almost feel like I can't take full credit for this one, since it was recommended by friends as "the best gnocci ever". Well, they were right. It was at the restaurant Smolt, in Salamanca (Hobart), and damn, was it good. Now, I generally like gnocci. But the chef at Smolt has capitolized on the age-old secret: EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH BUTTER AND BACON. Yes, the gnocci were sauteed in delicious, delicious butter, and served with pancetta, broccolini, and fresh parmesan. Unreal. Seriously, there's no reason NOT to eat gnocci like this. (I tried to take a picture with my camera phone, but no-go, sorry). I'm holding back a little, I really want to go on about the supreme greatness of bacon (and pancetta, of course) and butter, but I think you all know that. I mean, come on - bacon is the thing that breaks vegetarians. Anyway, I believe that gnocci has now found its soul mates in butter and pancetta - never to be eaten separately again.
