De Cecco Potato Gnocchi
What it is
De Cecco Potato Gnocchi are small, soft dumplings made from potato and flour. They have a tender texture and a mild flavor that readily absorbs sauces. These gnocchi are a convenient way to enjoy a classic Italian dish without the need to make them from scratch. They are typically found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.
How people cook with it
Gnocchi are a versatile pasta shape that pairs well with a variety of sauces and preparations.
- Tossed with pesto
- Served with a simple tomato sauce
- Baked with cheese
- Sautéed with butter and sage
To prepare De Cecco Potato Gnocchi, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently 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, carefully remove them from the water with a slotted spoon. You can then toss them directly into your prepared sauce or sauté them briefly in butter for a slightly crisper exterior before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other types of gnocchi, potato gnocchi have a softer, more yielding texture due to the inclusion of mashed potatoes. This makes them absorb sauces beautifully. Other gnocchi, like ricotta gnocchi, can have a slightly lighter or airier feel.
