Herb Farmers Cheese Gnocchi
What it is
These are small, soft dumplings made from a blend of farmers cheese and herbs, formed into a tender bite. They are a fresh pasta product, meaning they are intended for quick cooking and offer a delicate texture. The inclusion of farmers cheese provides a mild, slightly tangy flavor profile, while the herbs add a fresh, aromatic quality to each piece. They are typically found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.
How people cook with it
This fresh pasta is a versatile base for many quick meals. It pairs well with a variety of sauces and can be a delightful addition to weeknight dinners.
- Tossed with butter and sage
- Served with a light tomato sauce
- Added to brothy soups
- Finished with pesto and pine nuts
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the gnocchi to the boiling water. They will sink to the bottom initially. Once they float to the surface, they are cooked. This usually takes only a few minutes. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and drain them well. You can then toss them directly into your prepared sauce or pan-fry them briefly for a slightly crisped exterior before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike potato gnocchi, these are made with farmers cheese, resulting in a lighter, more tender texture and a subtle dairy tang. The absence of potato also means they cook even faster and absorb flavors differently, offering a distinct culinary experience.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and flavorful pasta option for family meals.
