I wish that I could say that I make my own gnocchi from scratch, but at this point in my life, I simply just don’t have the time. Thankfully though it is easy enough to pick up store bought gnocchi for a reasonable price these days. My kids love gnocchi and this recipe is super quick and easy to make, and it is very tasty to boot!
