Skillet Gnocchi Salad With Walnuts

What is Baby Arugula?

Arugula leaves typically have a spicy, peppery taste which go well when paired with pastas, salads and sauces. Although not as flavourful as mature arugula leaves, baby arugula keeps a peppery essence, though has a more delicate texture than its older counterpart.

What is the Difference Between Regular Tomatoes & Cherry Tomatoes?

Other than their obvious size differences, cherry tomatoes and regular tomatoes also have a difference in taste. Whereas regular tomatoes tend to be a bit sweeter, cherry tomatoes have a more sour flavour and are juicier on the inside.

In general regular tomatoes are normally used as an ingredient for cooking and cherry tomatoes tend to work slightly better as a simple snack item that can be enjoyed on their own.

The truth is, there are a wide variety of tomatoes beyond just regular and cherry along with many different ways of cooking them. For example, this Skillet Gnocchi with Bacon and Sun-Dried Tomatoes involves cooking cherry tomatoes before adding the bacon.
