Gnocchi Gnocchi Gnocchi with Chef Frank

Semolina Gnocchi goes back to Roman times but the more famous potato gnocchi dates from the sixteenth or, more likely, seventeenth century—well after Spanish explorers brought potatoes from South America and introduced them to Italian kitchens. The word gnocchi were thought to come from “nocca,” which means knuckles. In contemporary Italian, gnocchi mean dumpling – all words that imply the small, tight, rounded shape of gnocchi that we know today.
