Buried deep down on the very tip of Burns Court Cafe's dinner menu, you'll find a dish that could easily be forgotten or simply passed over for better things. The austere description reads only: "Gnocchi in coconut milk and saffron sauce." And yet, big things are in store for all who order, especially those who live without dairy (either by choice or necessity). Instead of watered-down wannabe cream sauce that the lactose-less normally encounter, this effortlessly smooth, fawn-colored emulsion holds deep notes of nutty warmth, only accentuated by the blood-orange saffron dust—otherwise known as the most expensive spice in the world. The little plate all at once captures the essence of churned sweetness alongside the exotic, bitter florals of the coral spice, combining to form a pungent, yet light pasta plate.
Burns Court Cafe, 401 South Pineapple Ave., Sarasota, 941-312-6633.
