Nothing beats gnocchi for heartiness and all-around satisfaction. A quick and easy base for a wide variety of meals, gnocchi takes the fuss out of mealtimes. But what if there was a way to make gnocchi even tastier? Enter Olivieri® with our stuffed gnocchi range, perfect for cooking satisfying, craveworthy meals in minutes. So, without further ado, let’s explore some delicious ways to cook with stuffed gnocchi.
What Is Stuffed Gnocchi?
Stuffed gnocchi is a modern twist on the classic Italian gnocchi recipe. While traditional gnocchi are small potato dumplings, stuffed gnocchi take things up a notch by including flavourful fillings. Because they’re pre-filled, stuffed gnocchi cook quickly and don’t require elaborate sauces, allowing for the creation of satisfying meals with minimum effort.
How to Cook Stuffed Gnocchi
Cooking stuffed gnocchi couldn’t be easier. For optimal crispiness and flavour, we recommend the skillet method. Simply heat a little butter or olive oil in a skillet and sauté until golden brown and crispy on the outside. This way, you accentuate the natural texture and taste of the gnocchi.
Chef’s tip: While all these cooking methods are valid and make for a tasty end result, we recommend the skillet method as it helps to lock in flavour and prevents the filling from becoming too watery.
