Cupboard Essentials: Gnocchi

Stocking your pantry well is something of an art; being able to have enough things to whip a new creation out of a mixed bag of ingredients can be exciting but it starts with knowing what to keep on hand.

One item I highly recommend having is a couple bags of gnocchi.  I admit that fresh gnocchi is, despite its origin, an amazing delicacy. Nonetheless, a vacuum-sealed, store-bought bag can provide some amazing dishes (this brand, by the way, you can get at Walmart and many supermarkets).  Like any pasta, you can pair it with almost anything.  Guess I'll have to post some of those recipes soon :)
