Traditional

Gnocchi

Gnocchi is sometimes confused with Cavatelli or “sinkers”. The shapes are similar, however, the main difference being in composition. Cavatelli is normally made of flour, semolina, and water- they can also be made with ricotta cheese in the dough. Gnocchi is usually made from a softer dough consisting of potatoes and flour. These homemade favorites are a filler for sure!
