Gnocchi is a small Italian potato dumpling that is considered pasta.  They also include wheat and eggs.  Fun fact!  The singular word for gnocchi is gnocco.  u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThey are usually cooked in boiling water.  But many will say you need to try them toasted by browning them in a frying pan with butter! These pillowy gnocchi are great with just cheese and butter.  u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThey can be served with cheese and butter or accompanied by meat or vegetables.  Find them in vacuumed-sealed containers at your local grocery store in the pasta aisle.  They also come frozen, but I highly suggest the vacuumed-packed variety.
