Great Gnocchi

In the world of fresh pasta, gnocchi is one of our favorites - it's simple to prep, boils in a minute, and marries with many sauces, oh, so very well! The little pillows of pasta piled on a plate seem to please everyone, every time.

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we investigate gnocchi with a classic potato version, and some delicious variations from the book, Pasta Sfoglia. We've uncovered a host of tips for making and enjoying great gnocchi. You'll also find delicious sauces perfect for any pasta! It's all in your kitchen waiting to happen!
