The small, curled dumplings known as gnocchi take their name from the Italian nocchio, meaning knot. The word appeared in English at the end of the nineteenth century.
Gnocchi is a type of dumpling that is crafted from farina potatoes or flour, which is then rolled into slender, rope-like strips, measuring approximately three-quarters of an inch in thickness. The strips are then cut into bite-sized pieces, which are roughly three-quarters of an inch long. This delectable delicacy is commonly served with Parmesan cheese, which adds a delightful flavor to the dish.
Gnocchi is a traditional Italian dish composed of square, round, or otherwise shaped dumplings made from semolina or potatoes. The dumplings are typically served boiled or boiled and fried, and sometimes baked, alongside a variety of sauces.
