Wednesday, September 23, 2009 our movie was The Bicycle Thief (1948) and we made Gnocchi with Creamy Tomato-Porcini Sauce.The film, a foreign classic, tells the story of Antonio Ricci, who uses his beloved bicycle to get a job. The first day on the new job, his precious bicycle is stolen. Antonio and his young son Bruno set out to find the bike, tracking the thief into a number of questionable locations including the kitchen of a whorehouse. At the end of the film, Antonio and Bruno spot a lone bicycle in an alleyway. Antonio then must decide how to play his cards.
Our meal was easy to make--just what we needed after a long day at work! The recipe called for prepared sauce and frozen gnocchi. Reconstituting the porcini mushrooms was easy and the earthy sauce was delicious.
