In this episode, Lidia Bastianich explores the world of gnocchi, the traditional Italian dumplings made with potatoes or other ingredients. She creates two different versions of savory gnocchi, one with a spinach and ricotta filling and another with a tomato sauce topped with fresh mozzarella.

For the sweet gnocchi, Lidia uses pumpkin puree to create a dessert version of the dish. She adds cinnamon and nutmeg to the dough and serves them with honey and ricotta cheese.

Throughout the episode, Lidia gives tips and tricks for making the perfect gnocchi, including how to select the right potatoes and the best way to form the dumplings. She also shares personal stories about her family's love for gnocchi and how she passes on these traditions to her grandchildren.
