How people cook with it
These gnocchi are a fantastic base for quick weeknight dinners or elegant appetizers. They absorb flavors beautifully, making them a perfect canvas for your favorite sauces.
- Tossed with pesto
- Simmered in a light tomato sauce
- Pan-fried with butter and sage
- Added to hearty stews
To prepare, 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, which typically takes only 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove them with a slotted spoon and drain well. You can then toss them directly into your prepared sauce or pan-fry them for a slightly crisped exterior. Avoid overcooking to maintain their tender texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional dried pasta, gnocchi have a softer, chewier texture due to their potato base. The inclusion of herbs in this variety adds an extra layer of flavor that is not typically found in plain gnocchi, offering a more complex taste experience straight from the package.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any unused gnocchi in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within a few days to ensure optimal freshness and texture. Keep them chilled until ready to cook.
