Gnocchi is a northern Italian staple known as a delicious comfort food. Originating in the cooler climates of Italy where it was better suited to farm potatoes rather than grains. In this delicious recipe the Italian dumplings are served alongside a creamy rustic sauce perfect for any cold evening meal.
