Gnocchi! I worked as a prep/line cook at an Italian restaurant in NY and making those tiny little ‘pillows’ would sometimes take all day(thank god we weren’t much of a lunch place) - from boiling huge amounts of potato’s, rolling them out with flour into perfectly sized ribbons, and cutting and shaping each one was the most mundane, seemingly endless tasks I had to complete on a regular basis. I still will not order gnocchi at a restaurant because I feel bad for whoever has to make them!
