These tiny gnocchi are tender, so place the cooked pasta in a bowl and spoon the porky sauce over top, instead of tossing the two together.

Cooks' Note

• Sauce can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat before proceeding. • Gnocchetti can be formed (but not cooked) 1 week ahead and frozen in floured baking pan, covered, until hard, about 3 hours, then put in a sealed plastic bag. Do not thaw before cooking. Boil frozen gnocchetti about 2 minutes. *Available at Salumeria Biellese (212-736-7376).
