What is Gnocchi?<\/h2>\n

Pronounced (Neo-kee). Gnocchi is a type of Italian pasta made using potato, flour and egg to form a dough. It is then rolled into long strips and cut into the cute little bites you see below. The gnocchi is then marked with a form and these ridges help the delicious Gnocchi sauce stick to them.<\/p>\n

Is Gnocchi Pasta?<\/h2>\n

Yes, gnocchi is a type of pasta although it has a potato texture to it which is so completely delicious! You can also make sweet potato gnocchi or I have also made beetroot gnocchi<\/strong><\/a> which is INSANELY good! <\/p>\n

Freeze your Gnocchi<\/h2>\n

Gnocchi that are home-made are really best eaten on the same day that they are made. However, they can be cut into bite-sized dumplings, spread evenly on a baking sheet, frozen, then packaged in an air-tight bag and back into the freezer ready for future baby led weaning meals. This can allow the gnocchi to last up to 12 months in the freezer.<\/p>\n

How to Make Gnocchi<\/h2>\n

Once you have made your dough for the Gnocchi this is where the fun bit starts. Roll your divided quarters into long snakes, and cut them up into roughly 1.5 cm pieces. You can then use your fork to make indents, your fingers to press and roll or just leave them as they are. Feeding your littles has never been so much fun! <\/p>\n
