Gnocchi
There are a number of tricks in this basic recipe from Laura Sbrana, the mother of the chef Marco Canora: Start with baking potatoes and get rid of as much moisture as you can. Use less flour than you would expect. For a light and airy gnocchi, work the dough as little as possible so that it doesn't become glutinous which would result in a heavy and chewy result.

This soup is flexible because the list of ingredients isn't fixed. If you can't find an ingredient, skip that item or substitute something similar. It is important to include the escarole, however. It adds a certain bitterness and gives character to the mixture. Once the soup is done, you could refrigerate it overnight (or up to a few days) and serve it cold. In that case, it's best to wait to cook and chill the fava beans, peas, green beans and wax beans, and add them, along with basil and olive oil, and even some tomato if you like, just before serving.
