Italian-style gnocchi
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Italian cuisine is all about making food quickly and deliciously. Of course, there are dishes that require time and patience, but generally, Italians prefer quick and easy meals—starting with pizza. Gnocchi are no exception. You can add them to soups instead of dumplings. Tasty and filling. A real find for the lazy ones. You can easily surprise your loved ones—this dish is truly unusual. Just the name alone—gnocchi—sounds somewhat Japanese, but it's actually Italian. Excellent and delicious. Just like our dumplings and vareniki, you can prepare gnocchi in advance and freeze them. I wish you good luck. The ready dish can now be served.
