We LOVE gnocchi recipes around here! A real vegetarian staple, it offers so much potential for quick, easy, cheap and healthy meals!
These recipes all start with packaged gnocchi – admittedly not as tender and melt in the mouth as fresh homemade gnocchi, but so convenient and easy to keep stocked up on when you need something to center a meal around. I buy the dried stuff from Aldi which here in the UK is about 80p and has a long shelf life. In the US I am told that store bought frozen gnocchi is a thing too.
Keep well stocked, and you’ll always be close to easy comfort food perfection. So here I bring to you the most irresistible and beautiful gnocchi recipes from my archives. The only difficult thing is deciding which to try first…
