How to cook gnocchi for dinner
Gnocchi is a delicious Italian dish, principally made from potatoes and flour. There are many different ways to cook gnocchi:
- One of the simplest and most popular is to simply boil the gnocchi in a pot of salty water for a couple of minutes until cooked through. Once cooked and drained, you can dress the gnocchi with your favorite sauce and cheese.
- You can also sauté the cooked gnocchi in butter or olive oil. This gives the gnocchi a nice crispy texture with a chewy interior. You can add vegetables, herbs, and spices to the gnocchi in the pan to make a delicious meal – a bit like a stir-fry.
- For a more decadent dish, you can bake the gnocchi in the oven with some sauce and cheese. This creates a creamy, cheesy dish that is sure to be a hit.
- Finally, you can also make gnocchi soup. This is when you simmer the gnocchi in a broth with vegetables, herbs, and spices. It makes for a hearty and comforting meal, especially for colder month.
No matter which method you choose, gnocchi is sure to be a delicious meal!
