My gnocchi recipes

There are only a few recipes but they are so good they deserve their own page. I'll be adding other gnocchi recipes soon:

Bread dumplings with cheese - Canederli al formaggio

Canederli or Knödel in German are bread dumplings, made with dry old bread softened with eggs and milk, flavored with onions, cheese and nutmeg in this case. It’s a typical dish from the Alto Adige, the Northern part of the Trentino Alto Adige region where the cuisine is typically Tyrolean.
There are many variations of this [...]

Butter and sage gnocchi - Gnocchi al burro e salvia

Simple, surprisingly tasty and easy to make. You can’t go wrong with this one. When I prepare gnocchi I usually serve them with different sauces and I always start with this one because of its delicate flavor, followed by tomato sauce, Bolognese sauce and pesto.

Cinnamon gnocchi - Gnocchi alla cannella

This is a classic way to serve gnocchi in Verona. My grandmother always ate gnocchi like this. Traditionally these gnocchi were served with butter, cinnamon and sugar, this is a heritage from the Austrian Empire. I’ll leave that up to you and your sweet tooth, personally I skip the sugar.

Four cheese gnocchi - Gnocchi ai quattro formaggi

If you love cheese as much as I do and you are crazy about gnocchi you can’t go wrong with this combination.

Gnocchi with bolognese sauce - Gnocchi col ragù alla bolognese

This famous sauce is the perfect condiment for potato gnocchi. The ragù can be prepared also the day before and reheated when gnocchi will be ready.

Gnocchi with gorgonzola - Gnocchi al gorgonzola

If you like gorgonzola cheese and you like gnocchi you’ll love this recipe.

Its leaves are smaller and light green but if planted elsewhere it won’t come out the same due to a complete different environment.  I cultivate pesto [...]

Gnocchi with tomato sauce - Gnocchi con salsa di pomodoro

This is such a simple sauce, but it’s so tasty with gnocchi.

Potato gnocchi - Gnocchi di patate

This is a real classic. They take a little time but they are easy to make and more than worth the effort. In Verona every year we have a Gnocchi festival called, “Venerdì Gnocolar.”

Roman style gnocchi - Gnocchi alla romana

This is my grandma’s recipes. When my sister and I were little we used to help her cutting the semolina mixture into disks. We were eating half of it raw while we were cutting it.
