🇦🇷 Argentina recipe
Ñoquis
Ñoquis del 29 is one of Argentina's most cherished food traditions: eating potato gnocchi on the 29th of every month for good luck and prosperity. The custom has its roots in Italian immigration and the tight budgets of working families, as the 29th was the last day before payday. Argentine ñoquis are pillowy soft, served with a rich tuco sauce of slow-simmered tomatoes and beef, and each diner places money under their plate for good fortune.
