💡 Pro Tips

To prevent the gnocchi from sticking together, be sure to divide the dough into small pieces before rolling them out. Also, don't overcook the gnocchi - they should still have a bit of bite. To store leftover gnocchi, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
