Bertoncello Potato Gnocchi
What it is
This is a package of potato gnocchi from Bertoncello. Gnocchi are small dumplings typically made from potato, flour, and sometimes egg. They are a popular pasta-like dish originating from Italy. This version is made with potato as a primary ingredient, offering a tender and slightly chewy texture when cooked. The dumplings are pre-formed and ready to be prepared.
How people cook with it
Gnocchi are versatile and can be served with a variety of sauces or simply tossed with butter and herbs.
- Tossed with pesto
- Served with marinara sauce
- Finished with brown butter and sage
- Added to a hearty ragu
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the gnocchi to the boiling water. They are cooked when they float to the surface, which usually takes only a few minutes. Once they float, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water. They can then be immediately combined with your chosen sauce, or for a slightly crispier texture, they can be pan-fried in a little butter or oil after boiling.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to dried pasta, fresh gnocchi like this have a softer, more delicate texture. They are also typically made with potato, which gives them a distinct flavor and mouthfeel that differs from wheat-based pastas. The quick cooking time is another key difference.
