I am quite curious how Americans pronounce Gnocchi. I hope it's horribly wrong.

Knotschi, das g ist ein hattes g

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 20 minutes ago

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.

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.
