Blog Post & Recipe: Gnocchi di Pane e Prugne (bread gnocchi w/ prunes)


This recipe is from the far north of Italy in the region of Trentino-Alto Ridge where the influence of Austro-Tyrolean food is prevalent. Some staples in their diet are wurst, cabbage, potatoes, apples, butter, polenta & dumplings. Yes this is Italy! These little bread gnocchi are called Knodeln which is a German word referring to a bread dumpling.
