About La Gnoccheria
La Gnoccheria is an Italian gnocchi specialist brand offering authentic potato gnocchi made using traditional Italian methods. The brand focuses on creating high-quality gnocchi that delivers the soft, pillowy texture expected from this classic Italian dumpling. Gnocchi (pronounced NYOH-kee) are small Italian dumplings traditionally made from potatoes, flour, and eggs. La Gnoccheria's products aim to replicate the homemade quality that Italian families have enjoyed for generations, providing convenience without compromising on authenticity. The gluten-free potato gnocchi variety is particularly notable, offering those with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity access to this beloved Italian comfort food. Traditional gnocchi recipes use wheat flour, which excludes many people from enjoying this dish. La Gnoccheria's gluten-free version uses alternative starches to achieve similar texture while remaining safe for those avoiding gluten. Italian gnocchi differs from pasta in both texture and preparation. While pasta is made from durum wheat semolina, gnocchi's potato base gives it a softer, more delicate character. This makes it especially suited to rich sauces like gorgonzola cream, sage butter, or slow-cooked tomato ragù. Cooking La Gnoccheria gnocchi is simple: boil in salted water until they float to the surface (typically 2-3 minutes), then drain and combine with your chosen sauce. Many cooks also pan-fry boiled gnocchi in butter for crispy edges. Available at UK supermarkets including Asda, La Gnoccheria brings authentic Italian gnocchi to home cooks, offering a quick yet genuine Italian dinner option that appeals to both regular shoppers and those with gluten-free requirements.
