Pasta can be a great dinner option in a pinch and Trader Joe's Gnocchi is just that.
Trader Joe's Gnocchi is the pasta with an ingredient list as simple as its cooking instructions. These fluffy, pillowy dumplings are made by a supplier in Italy who uses just five ingredients: potatoes, a blend of wheat and rice flours, and cultured dextrose and lactic acid for preservation. This makes the pasta shelf-stable so you can store it in your pantry and keep it on hand for when you need a quick and simple dinner option.
And Trader Joe’s Gnocchi is indeed a quick option. All you need to do is bring some water to a boil, add the pasta, and two minutes later you'll have fully cooked gnocchi ready to drain and serve.
