Our Gnocchi Goes Great With…

Pair our soft, pillowy, fresh gnocchi with these flavorful additions to create a satisfying and memorable meal:

• Ground Hot Italian Sausage: Butcher Shoppe's hot sausage adds a spicy kick to your cooked gnocchi, balancing the tender gnocchi.

• Organic Chicken Bone Broth: Simmer in this rich broth for a comforting, warming dish perfect for cozy dinners.

• Ground Chicken: Sauté with lean ground chicken for a lighter option that brings out the gnocchi’s pillowy texture.

• Parmigiano Reggiano: Finish with a sprinkle of aged Parmigiano for a salty, nutty touch that elevates the flavor of the russet potatoes.

Our Preferred Preparation for Gnocchi

When making gnocchi, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, then gently add the gnocchi. Once they float to the top of the boiling water, use a slotted spoon to remove them, ensuring they’re perfectly cooked. Our frozen gnocchi is deliciously versatile, so here are some of our favorite ways to bring out its soft, pillowy texture in your meals:

• Pan-Fried with Browned Butter and Sage: Sauté gnocchi in browned butter until golden, add fresh sage leaves, and toss for a savory finish.

• Gnocchi Bake with Mozzarella: Layer with marinara sauce, top with shredded mozzarella, and bake until bubbly for an easy, cheesy delight.

• Gnocchi in Creamy Pesto Sauce: Toss with basil pesto and a splash of cream for a rich, herbaceous flavor.

• Lemon Garlic Gnocchi: Sauté with garlic and olive oil, finishing with fresh lemon juice and grated Parmesan for a zesty, light option.
