These easy Gnocchi Recipes are quick to prep dinner ideas that everyone raves over! From skillet recipes to soups and sheet pan dinners, gnocchi is a versatile addition to your fridge or pantry.
But first… what is gnocchi?
Gnocchi are small bite-sized dumplings commonly made with mashed potatoes but they can also be made with ricotta.
They only have a few simple ingredients (namely mashed potatoes or ricotta, egg and flour), so if you prefer to make them from scratch it is easy enough to do!
Personally, I love to grab the shelf-stable packages from the pasta aisle of the grocery store to make dinnertime easier. Fresh gnocchi can also be found by the fresh pastas in the refrigerated section.
What does gnocchi pair well with?
Since gnocchi has a simple, neutral flavor base, it pairs well with almost anything.
It is commonly used to replace pasta in many recipes, but can also be tossed on a sheet pan meal into the oven as it cooks much more quickly and with less liquid required.
