Goat Cheese Gnocchi and Zasugo (Pork & Short Rib Braise)

Sugo is a long-simmered Italian sauce that often includes meats, such as pork or beef. Chef Estes's delicious version is aptly called "zasugo," after her Sonoma county-based restaurant Zazu. This rich, tender meat sauce ladled over feathery-light goat cheese gnocchi will satisfy your innermost desires for warmth and comfort.
