On March 29, the participants of
MasterChef
(Telefe) had the challenge of cooking gnocchi
.
A test that, although it did not seem very complicated,
some amateur cooks did not make it through successfully
, as happened to Delfina Gayoso.
The contestant had all the
lucky charms to help her
: she took a photo of her Gordo cat and named the dish after her great-grandmother "La Tata", a specialist in gnocchi.
But he did not take into account that
an oversight could completely ruin the taste of his preparation.
Delfina remembered her cat and her great-grandmother, but she omitted a key ingredient for making gnocchi: she
did not remember to put an egg in the dough
.
"It is a puree with semi-raw flour, shapeless, with absolutely nothing" , this is how
Germán Martitegui
described, lapidary
, with a disgusted face, the food he had tasted.
Germán Martitegui did not like the gnocchi he tried on MasterChef at all.

"Everything that can go wrong with a plate of gnocchi with tomato sauce is here
," was Damián Betular's harsh return to the participant about his pasta dish.
"The gnocchi is not gnocchi, the tomato sauce is not tomato sauce, the crunchy is not crunchy, so there is
a lot to recalculate
," the jury continued his criticism of the dish that was not well achieved, according to him.
With the photo of Delfina's cat still next to the plate, Donato de Santis assured: "
You already realized that this preparation does not honor your great-grandmother at all
, but I want to dwell on this sauce."
The gnocchi dish most criticized by the jury in MasterChef was that of Delfina Gayoso.

The jury of Italian origin decided to criticize something different from the rest of their peers and not focus on the pasta, but on its accompaniment: "Really, you had a lot of time, where you
could have cooked this sauce differently."
"Start to think like a cook", was the advice that the Italian left to the cooking fan after trying
the dish that was unanimously rejected by the jury
, since none liked what they had tried.
The participant Delfina Gayoso failed to cook some gnocchi with tomato sauce.

For his part,
Wanda Nara tried to comfort her
and bring peace of mind to the participant after the devastating return: "The important thing and
the good news is that it is the first day of this competition, there is a lot ahead."
Before going back to her station, Delfina asked if she could take the photo of her cat that was next to the rejected plate.
"I'm not bringing you any more," she said angrily to her pet's image
of her as she backed out of the jury's view.
"It's not the cat's fault," Martitegui was in charge of clarifying
to remove the responsibility for the failed dish from the feline.
A Masterchef participant took the photo of her cat for cabal, but it did not work.

"I want to apologize to Tata
, who made some gnocchi from c... de la lora," Gayoso recalled his great-grandmother's ability to prepare this classic Italian food, whose dough has potatoes, flour and eggs.
Although this last ingredient was what the recipe lacked in this case to be complete.
Why is it traditional to eat gnocchi on the 29th of each month?
The
word gnocchi derives from gnocchi
, its name in Italian, plural of gnocco, whose meaning is bun or lump and thus designates some little balls of dough that have been prepared since ancient times
with flour and water
.
There is a legend that says that San Pantaleon, the popular patron saint of the sick,
already ate in the 3rd century "the gnocchi of 29".
The history of the saint seems to be
linked to the custom of putting money under the plate
to attract economic prosperity.
A practice that is repeated every month in Italy and also in other countries such as Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
