I am quite curious how Americans pronounce Gnocchi. I hope it's horribly wrong.
Not American but Gnotschi
Knotschi, das g ist ein hattes g
You're right about the g, but the second part is more like ck (as in knocky), not tschi like cappuccino but ck like cacca. I'm not English nor Italian so 'tsch' and 'ck' might not be the best letters to describe the sounds.
Just like everything else they do!
Lollllllll
I am a heathen, so usually NO-Key, but in culinary circles people who want to nod in the general direction of proper Italian will say something closer to knee-YO-key. Mid-word vowel sounds in American English (all English?) can be extremely variable, though
If you want a proper IPA transcription, this video seems about right.
Aww jeez, mama's Mac & Cheese all over his knees.... no, no, no that doesn't sound right.
Mommy's Marinara? So close.
Uncle Ben's rice
