For those who are looking for a more exciting way to enjoy pasta at home, Trader Joe's new Outside-In Stuffed Gnocchi is a delightful surprise. Instead of preparing sauce on your own, the sauce and cheese is stuffed right inside each of these little pasta pillows.
Trader Joe's new Outside-In Stuffed Gnocchi is a bit of a backward take on a classic Italian dish. Typically, gnocchi is served with some kind of sauce and cheese. However, the new Outside-In Stuffed Gnocchi consist of "little wheat-flour-and-potato pillows" stuffed "with savory tomato sauce and plenty of mozzarella cheese" on the inside. That means that every bite is bursting with enough flavor that you don't even need a jar of sauce. Simply throw the pasta in a pan or the microwave and you'll "have a hot, cheesy, Italian meal on your plate and in your belly in just minutes."
