Whereas the meatballs were baking, I made a creamy sauce using milk, half of and half of, uncured bacon, porcini mushroom powder (made by grinding Alessi dried porcini mushrooms) and garlic. I tossed the cooked Alessi gluten free gnocchi within the sauce and served it with about a of the baked pesto pork meatballs. Then I drizzled the meatballs and pasta with Alessi balsamic reduction.
