   1                    Onion, chopped
     1/4   c            Parsley, chopped
     1/2   ts           Saffron
   3       oz           Pork fat, chopped
   7       oz           Ground pork
   7       oz           Lamb, lean, ground
   1 1/2   lb           Tomatoes, chopped fine in
                        -food processor
   2                    Bay leaves
   6                    Sage leaves, fresh or
                        -1/2 tsp dried
                        Salt and pepper

  Fat grams    per serving:              Approx. Cook
  Time:  1:30 To make gnocchi, pour flour onto work
  surface and make a well in the centre. Pour in the
  olive oil.  Dissolve saffron in a bit of warm water
  and add to well. Mix liquid with flour, adding enough
  water to form a firm, not sticky, dough.  You'll have
  to add the water 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough is
  the right consistency.  Cut dough into pieces and roll
  into long cylinders, about 1/2 inch diameter.  Cut
  into 1-inch chunks and press your finger into each
  gnocchi to make a deep dent. Set gnocchi aside on a
  floured surface to dry while you make the sauce. Heat
  pork fat in saute pan and cook the onion and parsley
  until tender. Stir in the ground meat and cook until
  no longer pink.  Add the chopped tomatoes, bay leaves,
  salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, for an hour or until
  the sauce is thickened. Cook gnocchi in boiling salted
  water until cooked al dente.  Drain and arrange in
  pasta dishes.  Pour sauce over top and garnish with a
  handful of grated cheese. Serves 4-6. By Peter Duri of
