People are having a hard time swallowing this pronunciation of gnocchi
TikTokker Lani Sanchez has built up quite a following by demonstrating how to cook her favourite meals.
For example, these lemon pepper chicken skewers went wildly viral and have been viewed more than 24 million times.

Another of Lani’s chicken recipes may well end up giving it a run for its money in the viral stakes, and not because it’s a great recipe – which it might be if you like that sort of thing – but because of how she pronounces gnocchi.
You’re not ready for this.

A partnership made in culinary Heaven …or Hell, if you care about pronunciation.
@iricksnacks Say “YUM” if you would eat these Greek Pinwheels To make it: Mix ground turkey with spinach & feta. Spread it across a low carb tortilla. Roll tightly & slice into 1-2 inch pinwheels. Air fry @ 400F for 10-12 mins (until turkey is fully cooked). Serve with tzatziki & enjoy Pro tip: This would also be delicious with some kalamata olives & pickled onions
