What is gnocchi?
A. Dumpling
B. Pasta
Many people in the United States believe that gnocchi is a type of pasta. This is mainly due to the fact that it is often served similarly to pasta. Traditional gnocchi, however, is made from potatoes, which makes it a dumpling, not a pasta. To be made properly, pasta must have a wheat flour base.
