‘Maltagliati’ gnocchi with ragù

I'm Riccardo, born in Veneto, but living in Milan for 19 years now. Having grown up in a family of farmers, I learned from an early age about the importance of quality products. It's not uncommon for the ingredients I use in my cooking to come directly from my home region or even from my own balcony: peeled tomatoes, rice, cheeses, salami, herbs, and many others. My favorite dishes to prepare for friends are those from the Venetian tradition. I love to delight their palates with pearà, Venetian-style liver, polenta bruschetta, tripe, radicchio or sausage and asiago risotto, Venetian-style cod, eggplant pie, Russian cake, pasta with farm-style ragù, and much more... Naturally, I don't limit myself to these, I also love to experiment with new dishes or combine different elements together.
