Top 10 Superb Gnocchi Recipes

The reason why Italian cuisine is so amazing is that it lets us enjoy pasta in all its various types, starting from spaghetti and macaroni to gnocchi and ravioli. Today, we’re going to talk about the magic of gnocchis.

Gnocchis are a sort of pasta that’s perfect for potato lovers. They are small Italian dumplings usually made from potato, flour (traditionally buckwheat flour), and egg and shaped into small ovals with a ridged pattern on one side. Like many Italian dishes, there is a considerable variation in recipes and names across different regions.

Gnocchis are available everywhere across the modern world, in every supermarket you’ll walk in. The problem is that there are so many different kinds of sauces and ways to cook them that we might end up wasting much more time wondering how to make them than actually making them. As always, this is where we come in.

We’ve made a list of the top 10 superb gnocchi ideas, almost all of which contain classic potato gnocchi. If you’ve grown tired of the plain spaghetti (even though we can all agree that spaghetti is our go-to pasta), try some of these delightful gnocchi recipes and bring some positive change to your palate.
