Gnocchi Recipes FAQ
Are there gluten-free gnocchi recipes?
Most gnocchi are not gluten-free because of the wheat flour used to bind the potato, ricotta or other base together, but you can make most gnocchi recipes gluten-free with some modifications. You can buy store-bought gluten-free gnocchi, or replace the flour with a gluten-free flour blend if making them from scratch. Then just double-check the other ingredients in the recipe to ensure the whole meal is gluten-free.
What can you serve with gnocchi recipes?
Some gnocchi recipes, like a meat-and-vegetable-laden stew or a twist on shepherd’s pie, are hearty enough not to need much on the side, but a fresh side salad or batch of buttery garlic bread is always welcome and goes with just about anything. When I need a quick and easy side, I often make something simple like steamed lemon broccoli for my daily dose of green vegetables.
Can you make gnocchi recipes ahead of time?
Gnocchi can become hard and dense once cooked and cooled, so the best make-ahead recipes with gnocchi are soups and stews because the broth will keep them plumped and tender. For crispy gnocchi recipes, like a sheet-pan dinner, prep all your veggies ahead of time but wait to toss them together and bake them until just before eating. For a cold dish, such as a gnocchi potato salad, the dressing keeps the gnocchi soft so you can make it a few hours in advance.
