Gnocchi and Sausage
This recipe is very easy and so very good. I personally don’t make gnocchi by hand as it is readily available in the grocery store and generally pretty good for “ready-made” pasta. Of course, if you have the time, I always prefer fresh rather than store bought but that’s just me. Want to know a little history about gnocchi? Visit here History of Gnocchi
