gnocchetti
Tiny Italian dumplings
Gnocchetti are small Italian pasta dumplings, a diminutive form of gnocchi.
Where gnocchi are thumb-sized and often made from potato, gnocchetti are smaller and typically made from semolina or wheat flour.
The ridged surface holds sauce well: gnocchetti with sausage and broccoli rabe.
