Gnocchi
Gnocchi are made from a base of potato, flour and egg (vegan option without egg).
Piera makes three different types of Gnocchi: the traditional potato gnocchi, pumpkin gnocchi and ricotta gnocchi.
Gnocchi di Patate
The traditional potato gnocchi represent the typical sunday dish for italian families. They are perfect to season with any preferred sauce or pesto for an incredible taste.
In particular, their flavour allows you to take a leap back in time and appreciate the authenticity of the foods in the past.
In Bologna, they are served with a simple butter and tomato sauce, called “Burro e Oro”, they are also highly enjoyable with a cream, mascarpone and nut sauce.

Gnocchi di Ricotta
Gnocchi di ricotta are very soft and delicate, popular in both Veneto and Sicily, they have ancient origins (before the arrival of the potato in Europe)
Gnocchi di ricotta can be made with a fish sauce, regardless of the “law”of italian cuisine that prohibits the use of cheese and dairy products, in this case the partnership with prawns or scallops is divine !

Gnocchi di Zucca
Pumpkin gnocchi are an autumnal and winter specialty that hold a very distinctive taste. This very particular tasting dish is typical of Mantova.
They can be simply paired with butter and sage to enhance the pumpkin flavour, whereas a more elaborate dish would be served with a black cabbage sauce and coarsley cut porcini sauteed in a pan. Make sure to substitute classic parmesan with a crumbled amaretto (biscuit).
