Where to Buy Gnocchi?
You can find fresh, frozen or dried gnocchi in any grocery store. I generally buy the dried and it’s located near the pasta. Obviously fresh and frozen will be in their relative departments. I have also found it very reasonably on Amazon when I can’t find it at the grocery store.
I hope you will add these ingredients to your shopping list and make this Italian Gnocchi Soup soon. I know you are going to love it. You don’t have to be an expert in the kitchen, this dish is simple and so incredibly delicious.
