Gnocchi with cheese is a comforting Italian dish made from soft, pillowy dumplings traditionally crafted from potatoes, flour, and eggs, paired with a rich, creamy cheese sauce. Often topped with melted Parmesan, mozzarella, or a blend of cheeses, the dish delivers a hearty, indulgent experience. Originating in Italian cuisine, gnocchi dates back centuries and has evolved into various regional recipes. While gnocchi itself is a good source of carbohydrates, essential for energy, the cheese sauce adds calcium and protein but can be high in saturated fats and calories. Health-conscious variations might use whole-grain flour or lighter cheese alternatives to balance taste and nutrition. Whether enjoyed as a main course or paired with a fresh salad, gnocchi with cheese offers a satisfying meal rooted in tradition.
