Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Packaged gnocchi sometimes stick together. For best results and even cooking, break gnocchi apart before adding to skillet.
  • tip 2
    Toasting Progresso™ plain panko crispy bread crumbs with garlic and butter is a simple way to take this dish to the next level.
  • tip 3
    Gnocchi is the Italian word for "dumplings." The food we call gnocchi in the U.S. is a potato dumpling made with flour and sometimes, egg and cheese. Gnocchi are soft, chewy and comforting. Packaged gnocchi is typically available at large grocery stores and can be found either in the freezer section or dried in the pasta section.
