23 Easy Gnocchi Recipes You Can Make at Home
It’s pretty unfair that at most meals, we have to choose between our two favorite carbs: pasta and potatoes. Which is why we’re pretty devoted to gnocchi, the miracle food that manages to combine them into soft little pillows of heaven. Plus, if you start with store-bought gnocchi (as any sane person does), they’re the perfect foundation for an easy weeknight meal. Here are 23 of our favorite recipes.
