What it is
Gnocchi are small Italian dumplings, typically made from potato, semolina flour, or a combination. This particular variety is crafted with potato, giving it a soft and tender texture. The dumplings are shaped into small, ridged pillows, perfect for holding sauce. They are a convenient way to enjoy a classic Italian dish at home. The package contains a portion suitable for a single serving or as a side dish.

To prepare, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the gnocchi to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent sticking. The gnocchi are ready when they float to the surface, which usually takes only a few minutes. Once they float, remove them with a slotted spoon and drain them well. They can then be immediately tossed with your favorite sauce, sautéed in butter and sage, or baked with other ingredients.
