Oh, gnocchi, how I love you!  You delicious little dumpling, you make my days bright!

This was originally a Rachel Ray recipe that I have modified over the past 5 or 6 years that I have been making it.  It is a family fave!

  2. I love that this recipe begins with pre-made gnocchi because I have never made it and, though I enjoy it, am not likely to. Dough and I just do not mix, no matter what type of dough it is. This looks yummy. Thanks for the recipe.

    1. Lol! I hear you Pattie, though I do enjoy working with dough, I have not attempted homemade gnocchi yet! It is on the list however! So many recipes, so little time...
