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.

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

sorry i was pulling your leg. where i live people some people call them "knotschi", instead of ([ˈɲɔkki]).

Any hope for it being anything close to the original is a lost cause at this point.

I like to think that Shady is what he calls himself in his head, and Marshall is merely the persona he affects in his day-to-day. Like Batman.

It's a picture of the rapper Eminem writing the lyrics for the song "lose yourself".
The lyrics has the words "mom's spaghetti". His real name is Marshall.
