What is Gnocchi?
You most probably know, however just to be sure….
Gnocchi are various thick, small, and soft dough dumplings that may be made from semolina, ordinary wheat flour, egg, cheese, potato, breadcrumbs, cornmeal, or similar ingredients, with or without flavourings of herbs, vegetables, cocoa, or prunes.
Gnocchi hails from Italy, as do lots off lovely things

Leave the bacon out for Vegetarians.
