Cooking methods for gnocchi
Gnocchi is incredibly easy to prepare, as is most pasta. But, making sure it’s cooked right is important- the texture of the pasta really makes this dish! There are a few cooking methods, depending on the recipe you’re using it in:
- Boil. Boiling is the most used cooking method for this pasta. Simply bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook until it floats, approx. 2-3 minutes. Then, add to desired recipe.
- Pan-Sear. This method is great if you’re wanting a crispier exterior, while keeping the pillowy soft interior (and, it’s our favorite way to do it). Simply melt Kirkland Salted Sweet Cream Butter (#1723) in a skillet, and cook until the gnocchi is golden brown.
- Bake. This method takes the longest, so we recommend doing a whole sheet meal for the most effecient use of your time. Toss the pasta in BBF Avocado Oil (#3516), Regal Fine Sea Salt (#1146), and AP Table Grind Black Pepper (#1029). Bake at 425 F until golden brown, approx. 15-25 minutes.
