One of the quick go-to dishes in a regular kitchen is pasta. The number of variations to prepare this popular dish are endless, not just because of the many ingredients you can combine it with, but also the numerous different types and shapes they come in. Gnocchi is one of the variations that’s popular in European cuisine. Also described as small pasta dumplings that are often made with potatoes, eggs and wheat flour, gnocchi are actually very easy to prepare yourself. What we particularly like about them is that we can use any kind of vegetable to create a fantastic plant-based version to suit any mood.

Chefs love gnocchi for their versatility in terms of flavour and different ways of cooking. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to make these little treats yourself and how your choice of vegetable can turn your plate into an explosion of colours. As we value a healthy and hearty meal at Bolsita Verde, we’re very keen on sharing our favourite gnocchi recipes with you. Show off your cooking skills and make the week-day meal a special one!
