Did you know?
Gnocchi dates back to Roman times and was originally made with flour and water before potatoes were introduced.
The word “gnocchi” comes from the Italian word for knots or knuckles, describing their shape.
Different regions of Italy have unique gnocchi recipes, including variations with ricotta cheese or pumpkin.
Traditionally, gnocchi are pressed with a fork to create ridges that help hold sauces better.
Drawbacks ⚠️
Often made with refined flour, which is low in fiber.
Can be high in carbohydrates, which may not suit low-carb diets.
Some store-bought gnocchi contain added preservatives and salt.
Usually low in protein and fat, so may need to be paired with nutrient-rich sides.
