Gnocchi is a traditional Italian pasta that is characterized by its small, soft dumpling-like shape. Made from a combination of mashed potatoes, flour, and sometimes eggs, gnocchi has a tender and pillowy texture. The process of making gnocchi involves boiling or baking potatoes, mashing them, and then combining them with flour to form a dough. This dough is rolled into long ropes and cut into small pieces, which are then pressed with a fork to create ridges that help the sauce cling to the pasta. When cooked, gnocchi has a delicate and slightly chewy texture. It is often served with various sauces, such as marinara, pesto, or creamy cheese sauce, and can be accompanied by vegetables or meat. The taste of gnocchi is subtle, allowing the flavors of the accompanying sauce to shine, while the texture adds a delightful softness to each bite.
