Rustichella d'Abruzzo Pasta, Alternative Flour, Potato Gnocchi in Box, 500 gr/1.1 lb

Plump, with a tender pillow texture, Rustichella d'Abruzzo Potato Gnocchi have the delicate flavor of fresh potatoes. In Italy, gnocchi are often served as a first course (primo piatto) instead of pasta. Gnocchi are perfect for rich, hearty preparations such as sausage and leek raga, or butter-and-cream-based sauces. The expression Giovani Gnocchi ("Gnocchi on Thursday") goes back to the socio-religious practice of refraining from eating meat or any type of indulgent food on Fridays. For this reason, people used to eat a rich and comforting meal on Thursday-such as gnocchi-to properly prepare for the penance. Rustichella d'Abruzzo Potato Gnocchi have a 15-month shelf life and are best preserved in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening.
