Gnocchi is a traditional Italian pasta made primarily from potatoes, flour, and eggs, though recipes may vary slightly. These small, soft dumplings are known for their pillowy texture and subtle flavor, making them a versatile base for a variety of sauces, from rich and creamy to light and herby. Gnocchi is high in carbohydrates, providing a quick energy source, but it can also be calorie-dense depending on preparation and accompanying ingredients. While typically low in fat, adding cream-based sauces or toppings like cheese can increase its fat and calorie content. For healthier options, whole wheat or sweet potato variations are available, offering more fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Gnocchi's simplicity and adaptability have made it a cherished component of Italian cuisine, celebrated worldwide as both comfort food and a culinary blank slate for creative dishes.
