14 Recipes to Serve the Best Gnocchi

March 29, 2019 | Search Recipes Here

Gnocchi is a beloved Italian dish that originates from the northern part of the country. The colder climate of northern Italy was better suited for growing potatoes over grains. Many of the heartier dishes that come from Italy such as polenta and risotto come from the northern area.

The origin of the word gnocchi is unknown but is thought to come from wordnocca, which is the Italian word for knuckle. Simply put, gnocchi is a type of dumpling and is not exclusive to Italy. The light and air texture and potato flavor make them unique and they have a long history in European cuisine.

Even different areas of Italy have their own versions of gnocchi. While it is often made with potatoes, other ingredients can be used as well. If you are looking for a way to impress your family and friends, try creating one of these great gnocchi recipes.

  • 16 oz package of potato gnocchi
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup of grated romano
