Question 1

Do you need to boil Gnocchi before frying?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the type of Gnocchi you are using. If you are using fresh Gnocchi, you can skip the boiling part and fry it directly in the pan. Note cooking time will take longer than what's noted in this recipe. If you are using vacuum sealed packaged Gnocchi which is what I used in this recipe, then it's best to boil it for a few minutes before pan frying it.

Question 2

How do I store leftovers?

Accepted Answer

You can store this in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Question 3

Can I use a different sauce?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I used Basil Pesto as a sauce for this recipe, but you can use any variety of pesto or even a pasta sauce for this.

Question 4

Is Gnocchi usually gluten free?

Accepted Answer

No. Gnocchi is typically made with flour, eggs and potatoes. I used a store bought gluten free Gnocchi for this recipe.

Question 5

Can I use butter instead of olive oil for frying?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You could even do a combo of both. I just prefer using olive oil for this recipe.
