What are Gnocchi?
Gnocchi are dumplings made of flour, semolina, or potatoes, boiled or baked and generally served with grated cheese or a sauce.
They will take on the flavors of what you put them with similar to pasta or rice. They’re like little potato pillows that work great in stir-fry, stew or even in a sheet pan dinner.
