To prepare Cucina Nobile Gnocchi, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the gnocchi to the boiling water. They will sink to the bottom initially. Once the gnocchi float to the surface, they are cooked. This usually takes only a few minutes. Carefully remove the cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon and drain any excess water. They are now ready to be combined with your favorite sauce or preparation.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional pasta, gnocchi have a softer, more delicate texture due to their potato base. This gives them a slightly chewier quality and a distinct mouthfeel. They are also typically smaller and rounder than most pasta shapes.
