This is one of my favourite ways to make gnocchi without blowing my carb meter and making a dreamy buttery sauce without using tons of butter! Pan Fried Gnocchi I absolutely adore gnocchi. If I go to an Italian restaurant, chances are I’ll order gnocchi. I put it above handmade pasta. And up until maybe a year ago, I was a total gnocchi snob. But in the years that have passed, I must say that packaged gnocchi has come a long way and now I happily use packaged gnocchi!

I’d go for a white rather than a red - and a crisp dry Italian white at that. * Pinot grigio - there’s so much ropey Pinot Grigio around it’s easy to forget its virtues as a crisp, clean, immensely food-friendly white. Look out for ones from the Alto Adige region. Pinot Bianco (aka Pinot Blanc) would be good too * Gavi di Gavi - another very popular Italian white for those who like a fuller, slightly smoother white * Soave - same reasoning. . * Picpoul de Pinet - a crisp white from the Languedoc coast that would work really well too.
