Gnocchi. To boil it not?

Asda recipe.

We have off the shelf 'dry' gnocchi, not fresh.

The recipe doesn't suggest you need to pre-boil the gnocchi.

What do you think?

Thanks.

i think the dry gnocchi should get some moisture from the tomatoes in the next step. It sounds delicious

Plot twist: fry it for about five mins. So yummy!

It'll be fine. You can pan fry gnocchi or roast it and it tastes so much better than boiled

Don't boil it.

It's gorgeous fried or tray baked

I'd usually soak in boiling water for 2 minutes. Even then it can get overly crispy.

I'd give it a quick blanching in boiling water and then fry it.

I make something similar to this regularly and never bother boiling my gnocchi. It’s a delicious dinner and very easy to tinker about with according to what you fancy/have in the fridge. Enjoy

I always fry it
