💭 What is Gnocchi
If you've never heard of potato gnocchi it's basically an Italian Pasta made out of mashed potatoes plus a few other ingredients. What I like about using gnocchi is it typically cooks a lot quicker than traditional pasta noodles.
The easiest way to tell when your gnocchi is ready is when they float to the top of the boiling water. This means they are ready to add to your sauce or whatever the recipe calls for.
So the bottom line is if you like traditional Fettucini Alfredo and love pumpkin, you will absolutely love this Pumpkin Gnocchi Alfredo dish. the best of both worlds!
